DELTA CHI PHILANTHROPY

The Jimmy V Cancer Foundation

Although we work with a number of charities. Our number 1 mission is the Jimmy V Cancer Foundation. Through a variety of philanthropic and social activities, Rutgers Delta Chi inspires its members to adopt important values such as leadership, empathy and ambition, and to always strive for excellence.

Delta Chi is proud to have a philanthropic partnership with The V Foundation for Cancer Research. The late Jim Valvano, in partnership with ESPN, founded the V Foundation to provide cancer research grants. Endowed by ESPN, The V Foundation operates with no overhead costs, which allows all donations to be donated directly to cancer research. Since 1993, the V Foundation has awarded more than $170 million in cancer research grants and programs.

 Since 2006, Delta Chi has raised over $1,000,000 for Jimmy V.
