How Phi Mu's give back!

    Phi Mu was the first Greek organization to donate money to the Children's Miracle Network Hospital. We've been donating money since 1986 and so far we have raised more than $8 million dollars! Phi Mu has made the Children's Miracle Network Hospital their national Philanthropy which means at least once a year each chapter will hold an event where 100% of the proceeds go towards the Children's Miracle Network Hospital. My chapter Eta Nu had our first ever philanthropy event last fall where we had a dance competition between all the panhellenic Greek organizations that wanted to participate and we were able to raise over $2,000! Our next philanthropy event will be next week on Thursday where, again, willing Greek chapters are going to be sitting in a "jail" and have to "bailed" out a minimum of $30.00, all the proceeds will be going to the hospital.
    A little history about the Children's Miracle Network Hospital; it was founded in 1983 (only 3 years later Phi Mu became a Fundraising Partner) by Marie Osmond. Her only two main goals were to 1. help as many children as she possibly could by raising money for actual children's hospitals 2. she wanted o keep the money raised in the community where they could help out local children. Over the course of 30 years the Children's Miracle Network Hospital has raised over $4.7 billion dollars! There are 170 hospitals nation wide where each hospital provides $3.4 billion dollars in charity car each year.
    For those of you who want to help out in your community go and find a local Children's Miracle Network Hospital and start raising money for a great cause!
