Sigma Kappa Sorority has become one of the nation’s leading contributors to Alzheimer’s disease prevention, research and treatment efforts. In 1954, Sigma Kappa became the first sorority to recognize the need for continued comprehensive work on the study of aging and the needs of the elderly population.
Sigma Kappa added an emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease to its gerontology program in 1984. Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic that affects 1 in 3 people in the communities where you work and live, and is now the nation’s sixth‐leading cause of death. The Delta Psi Chapter of Sigma Kappa at Radford University supports Sigma Kappa’s national philanthropic efforts and is dedicated to increased fundraising for a much needed cure. Please join us in supporting the Sigma Kappa Foundation to “Make Alzheimer’s a Distant Memory.” You can make a difference by helping the Radford University chapter support the Sigma Kappa Foundation, a leading contributor to the Alzheimer’s Association.
For more information or to purchase a GALA ticket, contact Maria Davenport, vice president of philanthropic services at (757) 472-2122 or mtdavenpo@radford.edu. Donations can be made payable to Delta Psi Chapter of Sigma Kappa Sorority and mailed to: P.O. Box 6991, Radford, VA 24142 or online by visiting https://www.sigmakappafoundation.org/ruskultraviolet/.
