One of the most important parts of Sigma Alpha Epsilon brotherhood is philanthropy. SAE chapters across the nation take part in philanthropic events that support Children’s Miracle. The Mississippi Delta Chapter of SAE at Millsaps College is no exception! Children’s Miracle Network was founded in 1983 as a televised fundraiser in a small studio. Now, it is an international non-profit organization that has raised and distributed over 4 billion dollars to a network of 170 children’s hospitals. Children’s Miracle Network also raises funds for medical research and community awareness of children’s health issues. One of those hospitals is located only a mile from Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi.



Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children offers kids the chance to not only heal, but also to play, learn, and grow. Their philosophy and funding helps provide the finest medical care, preventative education, and life-saving research efforts that help millions of kids overcome diseases and injuries of every kind. Covering a wide range of expertise, the multidisciplinary teams of pediatric specialists strive to provide a child-friendly approach to health care. With any philanthropy event that we hold, all of the proceeds benefit Blair E. Batson. That means that all of the money stays right in the community! When you help SAE in their efforts to support the hospital, you are assist ingChildren’s Miracle Network and Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children in their goal to meet the needs in the lives of Jackson’s disabled and impoverished. 



In conjunction with the Global Youth Service Day, Sigma Alpha Epsilon is proud to host an annual True Gentleman Day of Service. All service and philanthropy events supporting any organization or people are welcome. We encourage you to plan a fundraising event, volunteer with a local organization or talk to your student-affairs office about what service events are already underway for that weekend and to see if you can get involved.
