Through bake sales, catering services, candy sales and a variety of special events, chapters raise $175,000 annually for student scholarships, campus beautification projects and the general support of faith-based education at the Vienna, W.Va., university. In the past 48 years, the organization has raised more than $4 million, director Susan Ryan said.
“This speaks volumes about the unselfish character and dedication of women across the country to support the mission of Ohio Valley University,” she said.
