DERBY DAYS 2025 SLATED FOR OCTOBER 6-9
In 2024, our chapter raised an all-time high of $64,000 dollars for Children’s National Hospital in Washington DC. This was a 16 percent increase over the previous year and brought our total fundraising efforts to over 500,000 dollars since bringing Derby Days back to campus in 2011. Derby Days remains the most successful Greek philanthropic event on campus and we are proud to carry on this tradition of service and impact.
This year, Cael Comstock and Luke Offutt will serve as Derby Days Co-Chairs, working alongside our Derby Days Committee to make 2025 our biggest and best year yet.
We would also like to thank Derby Days Alumni Advisor Chris Kennedy ‘85 for his continued support and dedication. His guidance over the past 14 Derby Days has been instrumental to the event’s success.
We look forward to another unforgettable week of friendly competition, community involvement, and making a real difference for the kids at Children’s National Hospital.
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or making a donation via Venmo, please contact either one of us.
Thank you.
