Fraternity Raises $75,000 To Benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society – At the University of Georgia last semester, the Beta chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) raised $75,000 in only three months for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). They beat last year's total of $59,365 and surpassed this year's goal of $65,000. The freshmen members sought donations from friends, family, and businesses. Thirty-five members took part in the “Light the Night Walk” in Athens, GA, a nationwide LLS fundraising event. In 1971, a former SAE president passed away from leukemia. Since then, the fraternity has raised over $1 million to support the mission of the LLS to cure all blood cancers. For more information, please see the article in the University of Georgia’s student newspaper.
