4. Children’s Miracle Network is Phi Mu's primary philanthropy focus. Some 160 children's hospitals nationwide benefit from collegiate and alumnae chapter fund-raising events yearly. All monies raised stay in the local community for patient care, new equipment and research into children's diseases, illnesses, and injuries. We donate all of our money to Shand’s Hospital in Gainesville, Florida. Since 1986, Phi Mus have raised almost $4 million.

16. Our Reflection After seeing the children at Shand’s hospital we were motivated to raise as much money as we possibly could. Children’s Miracle Network really opened our eyes and makes us appreciate what we have. We are also grateful to be in such a wonderful organization that is more than willing to go out of its way to help children in need.

17. Relay for Life

18. All Greek Organizations work towards the same goals!!

19. Our Reflection Relay for Life meant a lot to us this year because two of our teachers have actually gone through and survived cancer in the past two years. This made us want to go out and support the cause even more!

20. What we learned We have learned to never take anything for granted! We also learned how to work in different environments and support our local non-profit organizations.

21. You’re probably wondering why we brought Oatmeal Cookies….. Oatmeal may actually reduce chances for certain cancers! Also: it helps to reduce high blood pressure, reduces the risk to two types of diabetes, helps control weight, and reduces the risk for heart disease!!!! AND THEY ARE YUMMY!!!! Compliments of Kaylane
