PHILANTHROPY
Chi Omega's philanthropy is The Make-A-Wish Foundation. In 2002, an alliance was created that has resulted in Chi Omega raising more than 20 million dollars and volunteering over 1 million hours for Make-A-Wish. Chi Omega's goal is to be involved in volunteering and fundraising for Make-A-Wish and to assist in the granting of wishes to courageous kids. A wish granted not only provides hope, strength, and joy to a child and their family, but it can also provide a wish child with the ability and willingness to comply with difficult medical treatments, and the hope gained by that wish often improves a child's physical health. The Theta Theta Chapter of Chi Omega has hosted a philanthropy event, Wings for Wishes, for the last two years to raise funds for our local Make-A-Wish chapter. Wings for Wishes is a wing-eating competition that brings together the USF community and provides awareness of Make-A-Wish.
