Greek For Good

Club Description

Greek for Good at UVA is established for the expressed purpose of:Bringing together the Members of the Fraternal Philanthropic Community in hopes that working together will promote more organized, frequent, and impactful fundraisers, events, and community service opportunities for the entirety of the Charlottesville community. Specifically, this organization coordinates the large annual fundraising event that goes to support the selected organization chosen for that year. Each organization / area of focus will be decided shortly after the closing of the year's prior annual event, and will be decided on by a vote of the entire organization after viewing submitted proposals (either submitted by internal or external parties). The common thread of any philanthropic event will remain: to create a university and community wide event for all to take part and give back within. Through early on allocated sponsorships to make the large-scale event possible, and donations from individuals and organizations surrounding the day of, Greek4Good plans to donate significant funds through their rallying of the community in the cause of philanthropic giving to make our city stronger. 2022 Mission Statement: The Carniville for Charlottesville is an event meant for the entire UVA community to enjoy. Our goal is to raise money for local nonprofit organizations which promote youth development in our community. Youth development is centered around providing youth from all socio-economic backgrounds with the opportunities to be successful as they continue their education and growth. The carnival’s philanthropic focus will be towards organizations that support education, recreational sports, and the arts. Greek for Good aims to serve as a service catalyst within the Greek and university community, advocating through partnerships and communications of the organization about getting more young people involved within Charlottesville’s areas of need.
