How it Works

Us daughters know that our parents are very busy during the day! Instead of wasting time baking a cake, please write a check to Shannon Dunne for the amount that it would take for you to bake a treat. Please remember the cost of all the ingredients, heat, and time. Thank you for your support!

Help Support Delta Phi Epsilon in raising money for Cystic Fibrosis

Thanksgiving Bakeless Bake Sale

Delta Phi Epsilon are proud supporters of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Some of the events we take part in are Great Strides Walk and 65 Roses. The Great Sides Walk we participated in this year was located in Ithaca, NY on September 27th. We raised a great deal of money and walked four miles in support of people who are suffering with Cystic Fibrosis. We were the largest organization that participated in that walk. Many people who were suffering or had family members who were suffering from Cystic Fibrosis thanked us for our continuous support and fundraising.

A Bakeless Bake Sale
A bit of news we have today…
A bakeless bake sale is on the way…
In these busy days, who wants to bake,
A pie or cookies or even a cake!
You’d be surprised if you counted the cost,
Of ingredients, heat, and the time you’ve lost.
Baking for sales is extra work.
Yet nobody really wants to shirk.
So we’ve thought of a plan that’s really grand,
And we feel quite sure you’ll understand.
In an envelope, if you like, please include the price…
Of a pie or cake or anything nice.
Without fuss or bother, you’ve done your part.
We hope you’ll give with a willing heart.
Wishing success for our bakeless bake sale!

65 Roses is a benefit which we host in the Spring semester. The benefit is called 65 Roses because that is how some young children pronounce Cystic Fibrosis. This name started in the 1960’s when a young boy named Richard Weiss told his mom that he knew he had “65 Roses”. Since then, it has been reported that many other children believe the name of their disease is 65 Roses. The benefit that we hold helps raise money for Cystic Fibrosis and it also helps people become more aware about the disease. We have speakers come to discuss situations with families that have Cystic Fibrosis and how our fundraising and contributions help. Having this event makes all the sisters of the Epsilon Kappa Chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon feel a sense of accomplishment and pride.
