Philanthropy Fundraiser Breaks OHE's Record Once More!

As some of you may know, Omega Eta Epsilon focuses its philanthropic and service goals on the causes of literacy, with a specific concentration on children's literacy. In the past, we have partnered with FirstBook, First Five, and the Benerd School of Education in order to bring opportunity and support to both national organizations and local groups within our immediate community.

This Spring, the alpha and only chapter of OHE (which exists on the University of the Pacific campus) has chosen to engage in philanthropic actions for at least three separate week-long campaigns.

Our first campaign, in which we partnered with Krispy Kreme Donuts, has just completed as of Friday last week. We are proud to announce that our profits from selling donuts on campus has broken our previous fundraising record, which was set just last semester!

In total, we raised $356.

In accordance with our partnership with the local community, Omega Eta Epsilon has pledged to use 100% of these funds for the purchasing of children's books, which will then be donated to the Stockton Homeless Shelter for children in need. As we did last semester, OHE will focus these books within the reading levels and language groups most needed by the shelter.

More updates will come as we continue to establish our next service project, and we thank each and every Pacific student, faculty, and staff member who purchased a donut or donated to help our cause!
