Foundation Notes

The Fort Worth Alumnae Chapter collects Campbell Soup labels and donates them to the Delta Gamma Schools for the Blind. The schools use the labels to purchase Braille books and other educational toys for the children. The Fort Worth alumnae also collect hotel toiletries to donate to the group home for the visually impaired. In addition we also collect used eyeglasses that are distributed to Alexander Vision Clinic. Our "Stay-at-Home" fundraiser was very successful this year and raised nearly $3,000 to donate to the Alexander Vision Clinic. The money raised will go to the Alexander Vision Clinic at Cook Children's Medical Center. To donate labels, toiletries, eyeglasses or to help volunteer please e-mail our Webmaster. This year we are collecting books and music on cassettes and or CDs for the visually impaired.

Here are some ways that Fort Worth DGs contribute to our fraternity's philanthropy:

• Collection of labels through the Labels for Education Program to provide equipment to the DG Schools for children who are visually impaired
