NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY
CHILDREN'S CANCER CHARITIES
In the early 1970s, Tri Deltas expressed a wish to have a Fraternity philanthropy to which both fund and voluntary service could be contributed. A national survey established that Tri Delta chapters were interested in children, hospitals and cancer. At the 1974 Convention, it was decided to combine the three and observe Sleighbell Day on the first Tuesday of December, following a tradition established in Southern California with its annual Sleighbell Luncheon. As a result, Tri Deltas throughout the nation have concentrated their philanthropic support toward local research and treatment facilities, camps, and scholarships for children with cancer.
The members of the Beta Lambda Chapter of Delta Delta Delta contribute a gracious amount of time, money, and talent to the Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital located in Orlando, Florida.
