Briefly Describe Your Chapter’s Philanthropy Event : Every April SAE hosts our philanthropy event Cookin' for Kids which is a chili cookoff with live bands that raises money for battered children's shelters. Last year SAE raised over $ 15,000 in the event and hopes to increase the amount this year. Money is raised through ticket sales and corporate sponsorships. Please help support us by attending this year's Cookin' for Kids on April 22nd. Tickets will be sold at the door and in advance.
