Kappa Delta sorority at Birmingham-Southern raises $24,000 to prevent child abuse

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The Alpha Upsilon chapter of the Kappa Delta sorority at Birmingham-Southern College has raised $24,000 through its Shamrock Project to prevent child abuse.

Money for the Shamrock Project was raised through a letter campaign and the Shamrock Bowling Tournament in which BSC's Greek organizations, Black Student Union, campus police, and baseball team participated March 18.

Funds raised by the sorority—the largest amount collected in the chapter's history—will be donated to Prevent Child Abuse America which, since 1972, has led the way in building awareness, providing education, and inspiring hope to those involved in the effort to prevent the abuse and neglect of the nation's children.
