What is Concert for the Cure?

Concert for the Cure is an annual country concert that was established by the young women of Gamma Chi Delta, a sorority at Trinity University. At the time of its establishment, Gammas had active members who were cancer survivors, so the club wanted to find a fun way to donate to cancer patients through the American Cancer Society. Since their first concert in 2005 , Gammas has grown the once small, on-campus concert into a city-wide event and a non-profit organization aptly named the Concert for the Cure Foundation. With the new Concert for the Cure Foundation, the women of Gamma Chi Delta are able to invovle other on-campus organizations and clubs to participate in their cause. Each year, all concert proceeds are donated to the American Cancer Society for their Camp Discovery, a summer camp program for pediatric cancer patients. In past years, The Concert for the Cure Foundation, Gammas, and sponsors have donated upwards of $15,000 for these special children.

As a senior Gamma, being involved with the Concert for the Cure has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my time at Trinity. Seeing the effect of the countless hours on others is truly heartwarming. Many campus organizations will be sponsoring different events to raise money for the concert so that all ticket sales will go directly to the American Cancer Society. Some of the events that Gammas will be sponsoring will be Dorm Storm, parties at “Flats,” and concession stands. With these events all students on campus have the opportunity to be part of a truly great cause. We hope that you or even you and your club will want to participate!
