Shave Away and Project Valor
Besides assisting every sorority on campus with raising money for their events, our chapter holds two annual philanthropy events: Shave Away and Project Valor. Our fall event, Shave Away, is held in partnership with St. Baldrick's Foundation for childhood cancer research. Brothers volunteer to shave their heads in order to raise money from personal donors and corporate sponsors such as our 2014 sponsor Wahl Razors. Our spring event, Project Valor, is directed towards helping Wounded Veterans. Each year we select one to several local wounded warriors to assist. The veterans usually come speak to the GW Greek community along with representatives from the University Student Veterans Center to raise awareness. Money is raised through local profit shares and tee shirt sales.
Last year our chapter raised over $50,000 for St. Baldrick's and over $20,000 for two local veterans.
