Local Philanthropy
Epsilon Chapter's local philanthropy is the Ithaca Breast Cancer Alliance (IBCA). We donate both time and money to the cause, helping fund mammograms, research, and supporting IBCA's Great Ithaca Walk - scheduled this year for October 13th. In addition to the annual walk, IBCA is also hosting the Strength in Numbers 5K, to take place in the Cornell Plantations. If you would like to register for the walk or 5K, please visit IBCA's online registration.
