Derby Days represent the nationwide philanthropic initiative undertaken by the Sigma Chi Fraternity, with the objective of raising funds for a diverse array of charitable organizations throughout the nation. This week-long event skillfully combines the spirit of spirited competition with the essence of benevolent altruism, thus creating an engaging and enjoyable platform for contributing to the betterment of our communities.

The Sigma Chi Fraternity is guided by Three Great Aims: Friendship, Justice, and Learning. At Loyola Marymount University, we strive to embody these principles in the funds raised during Derby Days. In the pursuit of Friendship, contributions are made to the Herbert Darling Scholarship Foundation, established in memory of a beloved former LMU Sigma Chi Brother who tragically passed away in 2006. In the pursuit of Justice, donations are directed to the Santa Monica Rape Treatment Center, an organization committed to addressing and rectifying the injustices that far too many women have endured. Lastly, in the pursuit of Learning, financial support is provided to our national philanthropic partner, the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, a prestigious institution at the vanguard of the battle against cancer.

In the previous year, we were successful in raising $15,000, and with your invaluable assistance, our current objective is to surpass $20,000 in donations for these three exemplary causes.
