The Xi Phi chapter at the University of Nebraska-Kearney spread some holiday spirit to end their Fall semester. Earlier in the semester the members had a Panera Bread fundraising event in which they raised $183.00. This was accomplished by having people in the community and surrounding areas bring in a flyer to get a percentage of the bill to go towards the chapter. They used this money to give back to the community through the Adopt-a-Family organization. Mortar Board members picked three teens in the community between the ages of 13-15 to buy presents for. They got one girl a jacket, make-up holder, perfume, two nail polishes, and some baby lips. Two boys got a winter coat, sweatshirt, movie, Adidas cologne pack, and one of the boys asked for body wash, which he also received.
Above, Mortar Board members show gifts that were bought for 3 teens around the community. They had a fun time shopping for them and were able to purchase almost every items on each of the kids stars.
Not only did the Xi Phi Chapter give to Adopt-a-Family, the members also got to give back to the S.A.F.E. Center during the Holiday Season in December. The chapter voted on donating $100 to the organization. Below is a picture of Cole Manhart and Jonathan Hess presenting a check to the S.A.F.E Center here in Kearney, NE.
