Mr. Whitman supports Lincoln

Mr. Whitman fundraiser supports Health Center and Lincoln High School students
Seven men will vie for the title of Mr. Whitman 2016 this fall in the 15th annual fundraising contest organized by the women of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Of the eight contestants, half are nominated by their respective fraternities, while half are independently nominated by Kappa Kappa Gamma’s philanthropy committee.

“We chose the health center because of their obvious passion and the impact they have made in the lives of students,” said Meghan Ash, event co-chair. “Throughout the campaign, members of the fraternity and the male contestants participating have been fundraising and making an effort to connect with the community at Lincoln High School.”

More than 20 Kappa volunteers traveled to Lincoln High School September 30 to help chaperone the dance and interact with the students. Whitman student volunteers are also supporting the afterschool care programs to put more Kappa members on Lincoln’s campus.

“We hope to continue the relationship we have made with Lincoln High School by hopefully helping with their prom in the spring,” Ash said.
