PHILANTHROPY: SERVICE SIGHT

Protecting the gift of sight is one of Delta Gamma's highest priorities. Through the four schools founded by Delta Gamma, children who are blind or visually impaired learn specialized skills and are provided the resources they need to thrive. Service for Sight has been at the heart of the Delta Gamma mission since 1936 when a sister from the Eta chapter in Akron, Ohio lost her eyesight, and the Delta Gamma Foundation made their philanthropic mission to provide aid to the blind. Delta Gamma also works with Joining Forces to support and give back to service men and women who have experienced vision impairment, eye trauma or vision loss.
