During its annual Philanthropy Week, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s Sigma Nu fraternity spotlighted Siskin Children’s Institute, demonstrating the power of community and giving in support of children with special needs and their families.

Through a series of engaging give-back nights and fundraisers, fraternity members rallied support from sororities, students, faculty and the Chattanooga community, according to a news release. Their efforts culminated in a donation of $1,717.64 to support the institute’s vital programs.

“This organization makes such a profound difference in our community, and it was truly rewarding to see the generosity of everyone who participated in our events,” Braden Stillwell, Sigma Nu philanthropy chair, said in the release.

Siskin Children’s Institute, a nonprofit organization with more than 70 years of service, provides diagnostic services, therapy and family support services for children with disabilities, including autism and ADHD.

“We are honored to have been chosen as Sigma Nu’s charity for Philanthropy Week,” Don Mueller, CEO of Siskin Children’s Institute, said in the release. “Their dedication and enthusiasm are inspiring, and their generosity will help us continue to provide exceptional care for the children we serve.”
