PHILANTHROPY

From TKE Nationals: 

At the 2001 Conclave in New Orleans, the Grand Chapter adopted the Alzheimer's Association as an official TKE philanthropy.  The Alzheimer's Association is a national network of chapters commited to finding a cure and helping those affected by the disease.  The Fraternity has partnered with the Ronald and Nancy Reagan Research Institute, which was established in 1995, one year after Frater Reagan announced to the world he had Alzheiimer's. 

TKE has committed to raising $240,000 for the Ronald and Nancy Reagan Research Institute.

Our Chapter:

Spring 2008:

On Monday, April 28th, TKE made $294 to be donated to the Alzheimers foundation!  In return for promoting Monday night specials, the Thirsty Turtle gave us a dollar for every person that came to the bar/resteraunt that night.  Hopefully, this is a partnership that we can use in the future for both philanthropy and fundraising.

Fall 2007:


The brothers of the Beta Delta chapter worked together as a unit this semester to bring in a very respectable sum to contribute to the further research in the fight against Alzheimer disease. Before each home football game, while other Fraternities were busy tailgating, a group of brothers would set up contribution stands outside of Byrd Stadium and receive generous donations from fellow Terps and Terrapin Alumni. In addition, we co- sponsored a rock concert at the Santa Fe café performed by local fan favorites The Great Scott on November 13th. All proceeds from the event went to charitable causes, including our own.
