The Gift of Life Family House
The Sigma Chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma’s Charity of Choice for the 2021-2022 school year is the Gift of Life Family House. The Family House serves as a “home away from home” for transplant patients and their families by providing temporary, affordable lodging, and supportive services to those who travel to Philadelphia for transplant-related care.
The Sigma Chapter has supported the Gift of Life Family House over the past ten years.
In 2012, our organization raised $25,000 for the Family House in memory of Eric Smith and Kevin Kless, recent graduates of the Fox School’s risk management and insurance program who died within seven months of each other and donated their organs to save the lives of others.
The $25,000 raised by our organization in 2012 went towards a guest room at the facility.
This year, your donations will help support the Adopt-a-Family Program which seeks to cover the $40 cost per night to families staying in the Family House, ensuring that no family is turned away due to an inability to pay. All donations are in memory of Sigma Chapter alumni Kevin Kless (Class of 2010) and Eric Smith (Class of 2011).
We need your support to reach our $10,000 donation goal for the 2021-2022 academic year! Please consider donating via our Venmo @SigmaChapter or support by purchasing snacks at Wednesday meetings.
Every dollar counts!
