Pancakes For Charity

The Ole Miss Tri Deltas held a breakfast to benefit the residents of Oxford and Lafayette county. The ladies of Tri Delta served pancakes for those who cannot afford medical care. The event was held on Tuesday November 9 from six until midnight. This is the 19th annual "breakfast at Tri Delta". The proceeds from the event will go to the Oxford Medical Ministries.

Oxford Medical Ministries is a volunteer-based operation out of Oxford . It was founded in 2007 and since then it has grown to help thousands of Northern Mississippi residents.

"This is just such a huge contribution to the organization and the money that is given truly makes a difference in the lives of thousands." Katherine MacNeil, a senior Tri Delta and an Oxford Medical Ministries volunteer explains.

The clinic focuses, primarily, on treating chronic disease and performing preventative treatments on patients between the ages of 18 and 62. The services are provided to those who cannot afford care, or who do not have insurance.

"All the monetary proceeds that we make tonight will go straight to helping families get medical help." Brittany Grissett, the Tri Delta philanthropy chairwoman said of the event she helped produce.

Last year the ladies of Tri Delta presented the Oxford Medical Ministries with their first check from Tri Delta for $16, 000. This year the Ole Miss sorority is hoping to donate over $20,000.
