Philanthropy

Phi Delta Epsilon believes in giving back to our global community. Our international philanthropic and service partner is Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals. There are more than 170 Children’s Miracle Network hospitals worldwide. Each year these hospitals treat 17 million children for every disease and injury imaginable. Collectively they impact the lives of more children than any other children's organization in the world.

Children’s hospitals are special places, graced with experts trained in the care and handling of small, fragile, sick and injured children. It is critical that we, as a society, support these islands of care because any child can get sick or become seriously injured. When they do, it is critical that there be a children’s hospital nearby.

Each PhiDE chapter partners with a local CMN Hospital to volunteer and fundraise. As their current and future physicians, this organization is dear to our members. Each year, in October, we host our international philanthropy day, Stand For The Kids, where every chapter stands on campus to raise awareness for the local hospital and raises fund to help with operational costs.

All chapters support their local Children’s Miracle Network hospital throughout the year through a variety of events from bake sales to 5K races. Some chapters have a signature event such as a banquet or an Anatomy Fashion Show and every October we host our international day of philanthropy called Stand For The Kids. Stand For The Kids (SFTK) occurs in October when all of our students stand in unison to raise funds and awareness. While each event may vary, the impact is the same. It’s a powerful day raising awareness worldwide for our philanthropic partner.
