TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 Over the weekend Troy University’s Kappa Delta<\/a> sorority raised $35,000 for its philanthropy during its annual Shamrock Run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The run is a fundraiser for Kappa Delta\u2019s philanthropy<\/a>, Prevent Child Abuse America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kappa Delta partnered with the Pike Regional Child Advocacy Center<\/a>, a subset of Prevent Child Abuse America<\/a>, to hold its run. Participants had the option to run in a 5K race or one mile race. Getting doused in colorful chalk was also optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It makes me so happy to see all these people supporting our philanthropy,” said Kappa Delta Philanthropy Chair, Kingsly Mixon. “The Child Advocacy Center here in Troy is a great facility and they do so many amazing things. To see this community of people gather and help raise money for the child advocacy center truly makes my heart happy. My dream is to work at the child advocacy center back home in panama city, so to see that happen here in troy really means a lot to me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 300 people in attendance, Kappa Delta raised $35,000 for the Child Advocacy Center, surpassing its set goal of $33,000. 80% of the money that Kappa Delta raised will go toward helping children that live in Troy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“All of the Child Advocacy Center\u2019s services are free,” said Pike Regional Executive Director, Kaylee Green. “The money that they raised helps us continue to make sure our services continue to remain free. Ten percent of the money goes to our national organization, which is to prevent Child Abuse America”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One runner, Matthew Chastain, set a personal goal for himself while supporting kappa delta’s philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was a little unprepared, my legs burned a little bit, but then they went numb and it was all good,” Chastain said. “I didn’t walk at all, which is a goal of mine to never walk in 5K’s. I’ve definitely walked in the past, but in the most recent 5K’s I’ve done I haven’t walked. Gaining that mental endurance has been really good for me. I really liked just getting sprayed with the chalk too.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the race, participants relaxed at the Kappa Delta house enjoying food trucks and live music, a fitting end to a tough race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
