5th Annual NALFO Penny Drive

RUTHERFORD, NJ- In its 5th consecutive year, the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations (NALFO) and its affiliate members reunite in their "Quest for a Million Pennies". The St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is unlike any other pediatric research and treatment facility of its kind. Due to its innovative scientific research, its discoveries have revolutionized the field of medicine concerning treatment of cancer and other catastrophic diseases that affect children. With the shared vision of St. Jude and NALFO, we continue to raise funds and awareness for this notable cause. The generosity of all participants will allow for St. Jude to continue its significant role as the 3rd largest healthcare charity facility that ensures the treatment of all patients, without regard for the families' ability to pay.

Lambda Theta Phi has made it a prerogative to assist NALFO with this event, which benefits the surrounding communities on a National scale. Last year, Lambda raised over 2,000 dollars. We are dedicated to the betterment of the community through service. As the first nationally recognized Latino Fraternity, we strive to take action in this event and have committed the help of all chapters and colonies to make it a success. The National Board of Directors is confident that we can assist NALFO and the participating organizations in meeting this years goal.

Founded in 1975 at Kean University in Union, New Jersey, Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. is the first national recognized Greek-letter organization founded as a Latin Fraternity. The membership of Lambda Theta Phi is open to all college men who support is values of scholarship, respect for all culture, community service, and the advancement and fair treatment of Latinos.
