Supporting the Lambda Theta Alpha Foundation!

The National Philanthropy Committee launched a campaign to help reach our $25,000 goal for the LTA Foundation. In the spirit of collaboration, each area created a team fundraising page so that chapter members could join and work together to raise the recommended minimum goal of $975.
