CWRU PHI DELTA EPSILON
International Medical Fraternity
PHILANTHROPY
As one of Phi Delta Epsilon’s guiding principles, philanthropy is priority of the fraternity. Each PhiDE chapter is paired with one of over 170 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
​
Our chapter fundraises in support of our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center. Each year, we raise over $4000 for our CMNH partner
ANATOMY FASHION SHOW
Anatomy Fashion Show is our flagship philanthropic event hosted each November. Students from within PhiDE and from various other campus organizations model bodysuits painted with artists renditions of anatomical features. Some artists are students at the Cleveland Institute of Art while others are undergraduate members of the CWRU campus community.
As the models walk the runway, multiple emcees give an educational lesson in the historical and medical background of the structures, conditions, treatments, and novel therapeutics depicted on the bodysuits.
We also highlight the stories of a family who has been positively impacted by Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital.
STAND FOR THE KIDS
Stand for the Kids is PhiDE’s international day of philanthropy. Each year, in October, our chapter raises awareness for our local CMNH hospital and raises fund to help with operational costs. While each event may vary year to year, the impact is the same. It’s a powerful day raising awareness worldwide for our philanthropic partner.
In past years, we have hosted bake sales, Chick-fil-A fundraisers and Krispy Kreme fundraisers, and local sponsorships.
