Theta Epsilon Chapter Raises $1,400 for CureSearch

The Theta Epsilon Chapter at Wingate University raised $1,400 for the child cancer research organization CureSearch on Saturday, October 31, 2009. The Delta Sigs raised the money by organizing and selling tickets to their very own Halloween Bash at Spiro’s Hilltop Bistro and Bar in Monroe, NC. The chapter's goal in the weeks leading to this event was to raise $500 in donations for CureSearch. According to the event organizer, Ryan Sangster, “This event was a success because we analyzed how this event was organized in the past and raised the bar.” Chapter vice president, Zach Wallace says of the event, “While it is great we raised so much money for an organization trying to find the cure to cancer, we could not have done that if it were not for the support from Wingate University’s Student Government Association, the Wingate students themselves, and the Greek community as a whole.” This semester’s Halloween Bash compliments the chapter's 2009 Swing-for-the-Cure Alumni Golf Tournament, which raised $1,200 for CureSearch during the spring semester.
