Events:

Stand For The Kids

Service Night

Stand For The Kids (SFTK) was started in 2013 as PhiDE’s international day of philanthropy where all chapters and members around the world physically stand, if able, to raise awareness and funds for their local children’s hospital. We stand as a symbolic gesture to honor the dedicated doctors, families, and friends who spend countless hours standing by children in need every day. We host several events to raise money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

Every semester during our Rush Week, we will have a Service Night. In the past we have done several different activities such as making tie blankets for Renown Children's Hospital or creating hygiene bags for Reno's unhoused population.
