Sorority Holds Annual Fundraiser
By Brandon Underwood

During the weekend around 500 runners laced up their sneakers to participate in Kappa Delta Sorority’s 13th Annual Shamrock N’ Run. The 5-kilometer race benefits the national organization Prevent Child Abuse America. Proceeds go to the local Durham Center for Child and Family Health.

Sorority members helped with the event by selling tickets, signing in runners and even running in the race itself. Junior Page Spencer was the first female to finish.
The event is the biggest philanthropic effort of the year for Kappa Delta. The final total has yet to be tallied, but the sorority is hoping the numbers will exceed the nearly $17,000 raised last year.
