In April, the Sigma Delta Tau 2010 pledge class joined forces with Sigma Pi to raise money for First Book Cornell in our annual event “Bowling for Books.” We rented out Helen Newman for the evening and invited anyone we could to come bowl and have a good time. We had an amazing turnout—besides the members of both of our respective chapters, people from all over campus (Greeks and non-Greeks) came out to support this cause.
First Book Cornell is an organization that works to provide underprivileged children in the Ithaca and Tompkins County area with books. It is part of the First Book Advisory Board that does this work all over the country. In the past 8 years, First Book Cornell has distributed 9500 books to local programs helping needy children. We raised over $500 at Bowling for Books, which will certainly help the organization continue to grow.
We are very proud of all the work that was put into the evening, and even prouder of the results. We look forward to a lasting alliance with First Book Cornell, as the work they have done in our local schools and programs is commendable. Thanks to everyone who made time in your busy schedules to bowl with us and help purchase books! We had a great time, and we look forward to making an even larger donation next year!
