Our Kappa Epsilon Nursing team for the Gilda's Club of West Michigan Westside Walk raised $890 in donations to support the organization in delivering free cancer and grief support to the community.  We also walked at least 100 minutes between Sept. 19 and Oct. 5 in service honoring Sigma's Founders Day.  A huge thank you to our team and our donors!
