Founders’ Day Challenge is a fundraising competition to support Lambda Chi Alpha and celebrate 115 years of Brotherhood.
Dollars raised support officer training, conferences, programs, scholarships, disaster relief, volunteer support, and more.
Your donation is tax-deductible and will be matched. For every $3 donated, matching donors will contribute $1. Donate today.
Your support helps to administer our Anchor Fund to provide grants for Brothers affected by qualified disasters like Hurricane Helene.
Our hearts are with those affected by this devastating event. To learn more about the Anchor Fund, email foundation@lambdachi.org.
Support your chapter – donate by November 2 at 5:00 pm EST!

What Makes It a Challenge?
Chapter teams fundraise to celebrate Founders’ Day while also enjoying a friendly competition!
Chapter teams are divided into three divisions:
- Purple: Chapters that are dormant or inactive
- Green: Chapters with 59 or fewer active undergraduates
- Gold: Chapters with 60 or more active undergraduates
Winners are the top three chapters in each division for participation (donors) and impact (dollars) and receive special recognition, awards, and bragging rights.
Chapters with 100% of their undergraduates joining Mason’s Circle with a gift of $19.09 receive special recognition and awards.
For additional information, please contact Shelby Parr at sparr@lambdachi.org or (317) 803-7352.
