Xi Gala
Our Chapter's Impact:
In addition to our contributions to Alpha Xi Delta's Letters of Love campaign which benefits Alpha Xi Delta's Key Impact Organizations, FosterClub and StandUp for kids, our chapter has chosen to support and focus our fundraising and local service efforts through the La Crosse Area School District Homeless Services and their mission of helping all students have equal opportunities to education whether they have lost housing, have unstable housing, or are currently living with friends or family. As of January 1, 2024 161 students in the School District of La Crosse are experiencing or have experienced homelessness this school year. In the 2022-2023 school year, 185 students experienced homelessness at some point during the school year. Our Chapter proudly raises money in their support.
The AmaXIng Challenge: Xi Gala
Our chapter hosts a Xi Gala at a local venue that donates all profits to the La Crosse Area School District Homeless Services in the month of November. Last year we had a great turnout and were able to raise over 2,000 dollars to donate to the school district's homeless services. We all enjoyed a lovely brunch at Mt. La Crosse and had a silent auction that included baskets from local businesses such as Moka, Kwik Trip, Four Sisters, and many more. Stay tuned for our upcoming Xi Gala!

We are so excited to be hosting VollXiball this upcoming April 20th from 3-5pm in the REC located at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse campus. It costs $5 dollars a person and you can have anywhere from 6-9 players on your team. The winning team gets prizes from various local businesses. All proceeds go towards making hygiene kits for the La Crosse Area School District Homeless Services.
