Running For the Kids

Kappa Delta - Delta Zeta KD 5k

THE DELTA ZETA CHAPTER OF KAPPA DELTA Sorority was founded at the University of Louisiana Monroe in 1967, and since then has upheld the standards of all things honorable, beautiful, and highest. Kappa Delta Sorority started supporting Prevent Child Abuse America in 1981 and have been donating to their organization to help children across the nation. Kappa Delta is committed to building confidence and inspiring action in not only its members but others as well.

This sisterhood believes that instilling confidence in children is essential to a great childhood. Child abuse and neglect destroys the confidence of children. This is why Kappa Delta is driven to help children everywhere and help them gain the confidence they need and deserve. By working with Prevent Child Abuse America, Kappa Delta is able to ensure that children across the nation are getting the help they need to have a bright, colorful childhood. There’s nothing that destroys a child’s confidence like abuse, and Kappa Delta wants to do the most it can to prevent this.

Kappa Delta encourages its members to inspire action by getting involved in the community. We do this by hosting several events not only in our community but also on ULM’s campus.

During Shamrock Week, we help raise funds and awareness for Prevent Child Abuse America on campus by hosting bake sales and selling pinwheels, the national symbol for PCAA.

Come join Kappa Delta sorority as we host our annual 5k Color Run at Forsythe Park in Monroe, Louisiana on March 18, 2023. All proceeds from our 5k Color Run benefit Prevent Child Abuse America, and our local beneficiary, The Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home. Registration for this race will begin at 7:30 a.m., and the 5k race will begin at 9:00 a.m. All ages and pets are welcome!

Abuse and neglect destroy the confidence of those they affect. As Kappa Deltas we strive to build confidence in others, which is why we are passionate about preventing and ending child abuse. 80% of the money raised from this year’s Shamrock event will go directly to the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home, right here in this community, and the other 20% will go to our national philanthropy, Prevent Child Abuse America, which is one of the oldest and largest organizations committed to preventing child abuse and neglect before it happens. We, as well as both of the organizations benefitting from this event, appreciate the generosity and kindness of each person who signs up or donates to this cause. We hope everyone enjoys this event and leaves more knowledgeable about these two amazing causes. Come prepared to leave more colorful than you came!
