Chi Omega-Lambda Zeta & Make-A-Wish®
Since Chi Omega and the Make-A-Wish Foundation® formed a national alliance in 2002, the Lambda Zeta Chapter has donated over $35,000 dollars and 1049 hours to the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. In just the last two years we have raised over $18,000, thanks to the annual Walking for a Wish event.
In 2010, our philanthropy chair changed our philanthropy event from a flag football tournament into a 5K Walk in hopes of raising more money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Our wish came true. We were able to raise over $8,000, granting a wish of 3 year old wish kid, Olivia to go to Disney World. Olivia was able to have a wish party with some of the Lambda Zeta members and her family. She then went to Disney world with her family where she got a princess make-over at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and met several of Disney's beloved characters.
In 2012, the Lambda Zeta Chapter raised over $8,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® from its third annual "Walking for a Wish." With this amount of money we granted the wish of 5 year-old Gavyn to go to Disney World with his family. Chi Omega was able to share the walk in which we raised the money to grant this wish with Gavyn. By having Gavyn come to our walk where he was honored and presented with a Chi Omega shirt.
In 2013, we hope to grant two wishes by raising over $12,000 through our third annual Walking for a Wish. "We'll walk a thousand miles to see a child smile."
