Kappa Phi Gamma participates in raising cancer awareness. [2] [3][ self-published source]
Each spring, Kappa Phi Gamma sorority chapters from around the nation plan a "Cancer Awareness" week called "C.A.R.E." This is a week-long series of fundraising events dedicated to raising community awareness about cancer. All proceeds raised during C.A.R.E. week are donated to organizations that are committed to cancer awareness. To date, Kappa Phi Gamma has raised over $95,000 and has donated its services to over 40 different charities. [4] The sorority has been recognized by the Asian Cup Award for being the only organization of its kind to dedicate a week towards cancer awareness.
The Emerald Endowment is an annual scholarship awarded by the Kappa Phi Gamma to a female student who is unaffiliated with the sorority and has demonstrated excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service.[ citation needed]
