Day 109: Grilled Cheese Feed for Campfire USA

This afternoon Tiff and I swung by the Gamma Phi house to enjoy grilled cheese with the g phi b's. Gamma Phi is a sorority on campus and which philanthropic events focus on Camp Fire USAand Girls On The Run. Today, specifically, the donations from the grilled cheese feed will benefit a local Camp Fire camp. The girls who were working brought us grilled cheese and our soup of choice. To boot, the house was decorated so adorably. When Tiff and I were there, there were several other tables of people chowing down on their scrumptious soups and sandwiches, meaning the event looked to be quite successful. I hope our sorority was able to raise a good amount for Camp Fire!

Camp Fire, I have recently learned is so much more up my alley than I could have ever imagined. This is a summer camp that offers several different camp courses, such as learning more about the environment or leadership. The leadership camp immediately caught my eye and I did some extra research. The promise of Camp Fire is as follows:

If you visit the Camp Fire website, you can find a list of all of the camps offered in all 50 states. You too can get involved in donating to your school's Gamma Phi Beta sorority, donate online, volunteer or even be a camp counselor. Today's youth are our leaders and they need good role models to light the way, just like the G Phi girls. 

God bless,

Day 65: EWU Gamma Phi Make-up Drive

Only four days left in the EWU's 26 days of kindness. Day 22 included a make-up drive put on by the Gamma Phi Beta sorority! The make-up donated in this drive will be donated to the Youth Women's Christian Association. The YWCA is a national organization and dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. For more information, you can click here.

To help, I went to a local grocery and picked up a thing of Maybelline foundation. Then I ran by the Gamma Phi house to drop off my donation! I've always been taught that make-up does not identify a person for who they are, it only enhances them. However, I also completely understand the feeling of looking great with a new compact of foundation or a vibrant new lip color. And, if you are like me, then maybe you don't always realize how fortunate you are to be able to run to the store to pick up a new tube of mascara. This was a cool way to give back and help contribute to empowering women.

God bless,
