FIVE YEAR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
With the Making a Difference campaign, your Sigma Chi Canadian Foundation (SCCF) aims to raise $750,000 over five years. Currently, only 11% of our assets are available to fund almost 85% of the Foundation expenses – so we need your help! Make a difference in the lives of young men embracing our values of Friendship, Justice and Learning.
