Fraternity Raises Over $750,000 in Fight Against Cancer

The Theta Sigma Chapter of Sigma Chi at California Polytechnic State University in Pomona has once again shown its strong dedication to cancer research by surpassing the $100,000 fundraising goal for the fifth year in a row in support of the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). This latest achievement brings their total contributions to over $750,000, making a significant impact in the battle against cancer.

This remarkable milestone was achieved thanks to the commitment of Sigma Chi brothers, the generosity of the local community, and the support of sorority members who actively participated in fundraising events and volunteer work. Their enthusiasm and leadership played a crucial role in rallying donations and ensuring the success of this year’s charitable endeavors.

D. Jerry Nelson, Director of Development/Legacy Giving at Huntsman Cancer Institute, commended the chapter’s efforts, saying, “Theta Sigma not only raised over $100,000 this year but their total contributions now exceed $750,000. Their dedication to cancer research and patient care is truly inspiring, and their impact continues to grow each year.”

Huntsman Cancer Institute, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, is known for its innovative cancer research and patient-focused approach. The partnership between Sigma Chi and HCI has become a key part of the fraternity’s national philanthropic mission, with chapters across the country raising thousands of dollars annually.

As the Theta Sigma Chapter celebrates this significant achievement, members and their sorority partners remain committed to supporting cancer research, education, and treatment. Plans are already underway for next year’s initiatives, ensuring that their efforts will continue to make a difference in the fight to eradicate cancer.
