Miss Case 2009 – to benefit JDRF

epn1 — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:46:21 +0000

This spring, Delta Kappa Epsilon is hosting the Fourth Annual Miss Case Pageant at Case Western Reserve University in order to raise money and awareness for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The event will be held on Friday, March 27th at 7:00pm in the Schmitt Auditorium of the Millis Building.

Founded by parents of children with juvenile diabetes, JDRF has always focused on a single goal-accelerating research progress to cure diabetes and its complications. This unwavering dedication has led JDRF to spend more money for diabetes research than any other charitable organization-more than $1.3 billion since their founding in 1970, including over $156 million in fiscal year 2008 alone. More than 85 percent of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education. In fiscal year 2008, JDRF funded 500 centers, grants, and fellowships in 19 countries. In addition, their advocacy has spurred government, especially the National Institutes of Health, to increase its investment in type 1 diabetes research to unprecedented levels. To learn more about JDRF, visit their website at http://www.jdrf.org/.

All proceeds from the Miss Case Pageant will go directly to JDRF. In order to sponsor a contestant this year, we ask for a $35 donation. The format of the event follows that of a traditional beauty pageant and appears on the next page. We ask that all entries be returned to Delta Kappa Epsilon by March 20th. Bulk tickets will be available starting March 16th, and general tickets will go on sale throughout campus on March 23rd. Tickets will also be available at the door.

If you have any questions concerning the event, are interested in sponsoring a contestant, or are interested in purchasing bulk tickets, please feel free to contact DKE at dkephilanthropy.cwru@gmail.com, or call me at (610) 217-3452 or Garrett Singer at (973) 460-4063. Thank you for support in helping make our event a success.

Sincerely,

Attention trivia nerds: Delta Kappa Epsilon is proud to be hosting the first (and hopefully annual) “BEAT THE DEKES” trivia competition. Inspired by the short lived Comedy Central show “Beat the Geeks,” the event consists of teams of two facing off against the knowledgeable DKE brothers in categories such as music, science, culinary arts, and more! For more information or to sign up a team, please contact Eric Neuman at epn1@cwru.edu or Andrew Minton at andrew.minton@case.edu. All proceeds will go to benefit JDRF, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. We hope to see you there!

Miss Case 2007

epn1 — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 15:57:44 +0000

Mark your calendars: Delta Kappa Epsilon proudly presents the Third Annual Miss Case pageant on Friday, April 21st at 7:00pm in Schmitt Auditorium. Miss Case is a pageant held to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. All proceeds go directly to JDRF, and last year we were proud to cut a check totalling $1,000 to help fight juvenile diabetes. To help us raise this money, we will again be asking for a $5 entrance fee at the door. This entrance fee also automatically enters audience members into raffles held throughout the show, giving away gift certificates and prizes from local businesses, so there’s a chance you will leave with more than you came with.

Contestants also have a chance to win prizes, such as a gift basket from Laura Lee’s Hair Salon. If you would like to be a contestant or would like to sponsor a contestant, please fill out an application found here or get in touch with a Miss Case contact. If you would like to sponsor a contestant but do not have a participant, or if you would like to be a contestant but do not have a sponsor, e-mail one of the Miss Case Coordinators for information.
