What a better way to re-start the blog than with a highlight of Sincerely Yours 2021?? Sincerely Yours is our letter campaign Tri Delta does to ask for donations for St. Jude. While this year has been one of the unexpected, we are incredibly grateful to our Director of Philanthropy, Sydney Jarecki, for putting on such a great event. As a chapter, we came in different shifts, with masks, and social distancing to stamp and seal our letters. Below we have junior, Reagan Castles, describe her experience of the stamping party.

Hey y’all! My name is Reagan Castles and I am a Junior in PC ‘19. Our philanthropy, St. Jude Children's Hospital, is one of the many reasons I ran home to Tri Delta. In the fall of 2019, I had the opportunity to visit St. Jude in Memphis with some of the girls in our chapter. It was so rewarding to see the impact we make on the lives of every patient and their families firsthand! I now serve on the internal philanthropy committee and on February 24th, we launched our largest fundraising campaign of the year with our Sincerely Yours Stamping Party.

This year, our theme for the stamping party was NO MORE CHEMO! This mirrors a celebration St. Jude patients have when they beat cancer and end chemotherapy. We had super cute backdrops and tons of confetti and balloons!

To kick off our celebration, Gigi Chambers shared her story of her battle through childhood cancer. She did an AMAZING job, and helped remind everyone that all of our hard work put into fundraising is so worth it! Girls were decked out in their best DDD shirts and hats to stamp and decorate the letters to send out to family and friends. This was super awesome because we were able to have an event with our sisters (finally!!!) and finish up our letters!

I absolutely love being a part of this chapter and serving our philanthropy, and I cannot wait to see the progress we make with our fundraising!!!
