Chapter Philanthropy

Hello everyone! Welcome to Theta Nu’s Philanthropy Page! Here you will learn more about how we support our amazing philanthropy, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
 
Children’s Miracle Network Hospital (CMNH) is an organization that raises funds for children and families in hospitals across North America. The funds raised for CMNH go towards medical equipment and the cost of care during a child’s hospital stay. Across North America every day CMN Hospitals treats 16,200 children with trauma, 953 children with diabetes, 2,128 children with cancer, 925 babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and performs 2,329 surgeries. Since its founding CMN has raised over $7 billion. Theta Nu is lucky enough to have a CMNH hospital right here in Fort Myers, Golisano Children’s Hospital partnered with CMNH in 2019, so 100% of the funds we raise as a chapter go to them. This gives us a chance to make a difference locally.
 
This past fall, I had the honor of being elected the Philanthropy Chairwoman of Theta Nu. This is something I am so passionate about, it has been a dream of mine to work in a Children’s Hospital for as long as I can remember. Every semester we hold events to raise money for CMNH, this past February we hosted a kick ball tournament, “Kicks for Kids” that where Greek Organizations competed against each other. This coming fall we are excited to bring back our Miracle Week where we will host Bonnamu, where organizations create a lip sync/dance routine to compete against each other and raise money for CMNH!
 
As philanthropy chair, it is my main goal to grow the passion for CMNH not only within Theta Nu, but the community of FGCU. I want to new events that will get people excited to learn more about CMNH as well as do more things with Golisano’s now that we are coming out of many of the COVID restrictions.
CMNH has a very special place in the heart of Phi Mu. I want our chapter to continue to spread the joy that CMNH brings us, because Kids Can’t Wait!
