Philanthropy

NBAXID: October 10th 2025, 4:00-8:00pm CFH Outdoor Basketball Court!Alpha Xi Delta’s Theta Rho chapter at CSUSM is proud to support StandUp for Kids in San Diego County through our national Kindly Hearts Initiative. The Kindly Hearts Initiative focuses on addressing the needs of children and young adults experiencing foster care or homelessness. StandUp for Kids is a nonprofit dedicated to ending the cycle of youth homelessness by providing outreach, mentoring, housing support, and resources to help kids build brighter futures.Our chapter supports this cause by raising both awareness and funds through events such as our AmaXing Challenge and annual Lip Sync Battle, which bring the campus community together for philanthropy in fun and engaging ways. Beyond large scale events, we also participate in more personal efforts like writing Letters of Love, which provide encouragement and positivity to the youth served by StandUp for Kids.Theta Rho also creates opportunities within our chapter for members to engage directly with our philanthropy through volunteering, service projects, and event planning that highlight the struggles and resilience of local youth. Through these efforts, we aim to make a meaningful difference in San Diego County while embodying Alpha Xi Delta’s values of service, compassion, and community.
