VolThon
Our members participated in the annual dance marathon, VolThon, in support of our philanthropy East Tennessee Children’s Hospital (ETCH). This event is such a wonderful opportunity to hear from children and families who have experienced the excellent care at ETCH, to spend time with these inspiring kids, and to participate in service activities making craft kits for children currently staying at ETCH. Dancing with our sisters during the silent disco and DJ were fun, but nothing comes close to the excitement seeing the final amount raised. VolThon 2024 raised $193,817 for ETCH, $75,000 of which was raised by Phi Mu. We are so grateful to everyone who donated and enabled us to have such an incredible impact.
