Shamrock is an annual fundraising campaign supported by every national Kappa Delta chapter to fight child abuse and support families going through abuse-related trauma. Our local chapter of Kappa Delta's annual fundraising efforts culminate in an annual 5k race. We are so excited to host the 32nd Annual Shamrock 5k, which will be hosted in-person this year on March 29th.

Twenty percent of the proceeds from our race benefit the national leader in child abuse prevention, Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA), and eighty percent of the proceeds stay local, benefitting the Center for Child and Family Health (CCFH) in Durham, North Carolina. With nearly $100,000 raised last year, our chapter remains one of CCFH's largest donors to their Healthy Future's Fund which supports prevention programs and clinical treatment for survivors of abuse and neglect. We are so honored to support the work of PCAA and CCFH every year in the fight to ensure every child grows up in a safe and healthy environment.

We appreciate your support for our 2025 fundraising efforts and hope to see you on Race Day in March!
