Alpha Xi Delta’s Philanthropic Focus

The Kindly Hearts Initiative

The Kindly Hearts Initiative serves as the umbrella to our national philanthropic focus of supporting children and teens experiencing foster care or homelessness. Alpha Xi Deltas across the country support two Key Impact Organizations, FosterClub and StandUp for Kids, making a national and regional difference under the umbrella of our focus.

Letters of Love

All Alpha Xi Delta chapters and alumnae associations participate in Letters of Love, Alpha Xi Delta’s national letter writing fundraising campaign. Held annually during the month of November this campaign benefits Alpha Xi Delta’s two Key Impact Organizations, StandUp for Kids and FosterClub.

Our Chapter's Impact:

The Eta chapter of Alpha Xi Delta hosts multiple philanthropy events each year to raise money for the Kindly Hearts Initiative! Our fall event, Xiti With The Xi's, features plenty of baked ziti, catered by the Spaghetti Warehouse, and is held on our front lawn with music on a typical Syracuse fall day! This is a fun way to enjoy delicious food while supporting a meaningful cause. This year, we were able to raise almost $2,000 for the Kindly Hearts Initiative.

Our second event, Kicks for a Cause, is a soccer tournament where other chapters and campus clubs compete in a friendly match. Participants enjoy refreshments, this year sponsored by La Croix, and the winning team takes home a trophy! This past spring, we also co-hosted our first-ever DogHouse event with Delta Upsilon, held in Walnut Park, where we served hot dogs and had service dogs presented by PAWS of CNY. These two events collectively raised around $1,500!

Additional Philanthropic Events

Additional events we coordinate throughout the semester may involve group and individual service project opportunities, donation drives, profit share nights at local restaurants, food fundraising events, and more! Follow us on social media to see event announcements and information.
