What is Chi Omega's Philanthropy?
Chi Omega has partnered with the Make a Wish Foundation to name it their national philanthropic partner. Make a Wish has been Chi Omega’s national philanthropic partner since 2002. Make a Wish is a non-profit organization that grants wishes to children who are diagnosed with critical illnesses. Granting a wish helps bring joy and inspiration to children battling these life threatening illnesses and to their families. Donors, sponsors, and communities join together to help make these wishes possible. Since the start of the partnership, Chi Omega has helped to raise more than $20 million dollars for the Make a Wish Foundation. The organization has also volunteered over 1,000,000 hours of service to benefit Make a Wish.
Every school year, chapters across the nation will host philanthropy events to support the sorority’s national philanthropic partner, Make a Wish. The most popular philanthropy event is a Pancake Dinner where students and members of the community can buy pancakes to help raise money for Make a Wish.
