The Quarterly

The Kappa Pi Chapter at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, made a meaningful impact on its local community by raising $30,000 through its annual Ducky Derby philanthropy. Proceeds from the event benefited Jack’s Helping Hand, a San Luis Obispo-based nonprofit that provides programs and services for children under the age of 21 who are living with cancer or special needs. The organization’s work helps families access resources and opportunities that improve quality of life for children facing unique challenges.

In mid-November, the Kappa Pi Chapter at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo hosted Turn the Tables, its largest philanthropy event of the fall quarter and a milestone celebration marking the program’s 10th anniversary. This year’s event welcomed participation from five sororities, each competing to design and paint tables that promote awareness around sexual assault prevention and survivor support. The most creative and impactful design earned top honors, while all participants contributed to an important and timely cause. Through the collective efforts of the campus community, the chapter raised more than $1,000 for Lumina Alliance, a local organization in San Luis Obispo dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence and advancing education and prevention initiatives.
