HEROS DAY PROJECT UNITES COMMUNITY

The Heroes Day Project was a culmination of efforts from an astonishing

amount of organizations within both the UNM and Albuquerque community. The project
was targeted around raising money and awareness for our New Mexican and National
Heroes (service men/women, veterans, wounded warriors, national guardsmen, first
responders, police, fire fighters, emergency medical technicians, search and rescue, etc.).
This was accomplished through various ways within the community; one of which being
the UNM Greek system uniting as a whole and utilizing our networks of alumni to
philanthropically fundraise within Albuquerque for our great state's Heroes.

KOAT Channel 7 provided over $125,000 worth of promotional advertising for
the event, in which several prominent Greek alumni were featured within; along with
several other community sponsors such as Frontier Restaurant. In total, the UNM Greek
community was able to raise and donate over $12,000 to local New Mexican charities,
such as The Henderson House and the National Guard Association of New Mexico - as
well as raise and donate over $10,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project via their text-to-
donate campaign. Overall, it was an incredibly successful project that was able to create
and impact and provide help to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect
the freedoms that Americans possess each and every day. Phi Gamma D elta is proud to
have been a part of this incredible project and to have had the pleasure of working with
many of the incredible leaders within the UNM Greek community on both the
undergraduate and alumni levels.
