Military Heroes Campaign
Kappa Sigma's Military Heroes Campaign was designed to honor and aid the thousands of wounded military veterans returning from active duty. The Military Heroes Campaign provides charitable donations to organizations such as the Fisher House and other entities. The Fisher House Foundation, is a segment of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund that provides free housing to wounded veterans and their families throughout the duration of rehabilitation.
The Fisher House Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides a network of 38 comfort homes on the grounds of military and VA major medical centers. The houses are 5,000 to 16,000 square foot units, with up to 21 suites, donated to the military and Department of Veterans Affairs. The Foundation provides support to families of patients receiving care at the nearby medical center. Further information on the work of Fisher House Foundation, can be found at www.fisherhouse.org or by calling 888-294-8560. |
In Kappa Sigma's philanthropy we look into raising funds for the Military Heroes Campaign. As a student of Stockton University and a brother of Kappa Sigma, we are dedicated to diverse learning experiences. The brothers of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity recognize and stress the importance of being part of the Stockton community. The Military Heroes Campaign is the fraternity's primary philanthropy. The brothers of Kappa Sigma are always willing to participate in many events in order to raise money for this cause. In addition, besides participating in fundraising events we are passionate about helping others and giving back to our community. The fraternity devote thousands of hours volunteering through projects sponsored by various organizations in the community. These community service events includes: Polar Plunge, Toys for Tots, Wing Bowl, Roadside Cleanups, First Responders Day, and many more. The members of the fraternity are also leaders on campus. Brothers participate in various student programs, student activities, and student clubs on campus. This includes: Student Senate, Resident Assistants, T.A.L.O.N.S., Ambassadors, Orientation Leaders, RHA, IFC, and many more!
Polar Plunge
The brothers of Kappa Sigma run into the ocean in the beginning of every spring semester to raise money for our philanthropy! In February 2017 we raised over $5000 for the Military Heroes Campaign!
First Responder's Day
The brothers of Kappa Sigma went out and bought some snacks and donated then to Stockton police for Kappa Sigmas first responders day. We want to say thank you to any of our brothers that went on to become first responders. We appreciate all you do!
Roadside Cleanup
Our Fraternity has adopted a road right off campus which we clean-up at least once a month.
Toys for Tots
Each Christmas Season our Brothers raise money for Toys for Tots through taking pictures with Kappa Claus (the brothers dress-up as Santa) on campus.
