Phi Mu at LSU raises over $54,000 for Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has been Phi Mu Fraternity’s national philanthropy since 1986. With over 300 local chapters, members of Phi Mu Fraternity have supported their local children’s hospital by raising funds throughout the school year by hosting special events and fundraisers.
Locally, Phi Mu at LSU supports Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital, which is only a 15 minute drive from campus. This past year, Phi Mu at LSU raised $54, 284.15 for the kids!
Passion for philanthropy runs deep for the sisters of Phi Mu as the organization’s creed begins with the words, “To lend to those less fortunate a helping hand.” Members of Phi Mu at LSU attend tours and playroom visits with patients at Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital year round while also volunteering at Radiothon or other children’s hospital events. In the fall, Phi Mu at LSU hosts Kick It!, a kickball tournament hosted on campus. This year, the winning team included members of the LSU Football team.
In the spring, Phi Mu hosts an all male, mock-pageant at The Varsity. Miracle Kid, Madisyn and her mom, Lindsay, attended to share their story and crown the winner, David Quiring. Phi Mu at LSU’s President, Skylar Beasley, said “Phi Mu’s relationship with Children’s Miracle Network is unbreakable. Not only are our women given the opportunity to help children in the community, but they too are also deeply impacted by each child’s joy and hope.”
Thank you to the ladies of Phi Mu at LSU for supporting Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital!
