On April 12, 2013, Sigma Chi members presented the one-millionth dollar raised for cancer research at Huntsman Cancer Institute to Significant Sig and Order of Constantine Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNNSYLVANIA 1959. In December 2012, Sigma Chi designated the Huntsman Cancer Foundation as its sole preferred philanthropic partner.Founded by Huntsman, the Huntsman Cancer Institute is dedicated to finding the causes of cancer, developing new and better treatments, and preventing people from ever developing cancer. Huntsman founded HCI to focus on understanding cancer from its very beginnings and to translate this knowledge into safer and more effective treaments. HCI was chosen as Sigma Chi's preferred philanthropic partner because many Sigs and their families have been directly affected by cancer, the second-leading cause of death in the United States.
Our goal for the Beta Kappa Chapter of Sigma Chi at the University of Oklahoma is to raise $10,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. We as Sigma Chi's hold ourselves to the highest standard, and with this includes giving back to those who need it. With your help we hope to reach our goal and donate all of our collections to this amazing cause!
