Help reach our $169,000 campaign goal and support Sigma Chi's Transformational Leadership and scholarship initiatives!
Honor Sigma Chi's anniversary milestone and impact every facet of the Sigma Chi Foundation's mission — support of the Fraternity's educational leadership programs delivered by the Sigma Chi Leadership Institute, academic scholarships for brothers in need and much more through a generous gift to the Annual Fund.
In addition to any year-end gift recognition provided by the Foundation, Founders Day donors will be recognized in a future edition of the Magazine of Sigma Chi, highlighted on the Founders Day website and in email outreach to the Sigma Chi brotherhood.
The top Founders Day donor will receive a special bottle of Seven Founders Reserve, donated Significant Sig Brandon Chaney and In Hoc Napa Valley and hand-signed by 12 past Grand Consuls during the 2021 Grand Chapter.
Additionally, the Sigma Chi Foundation will award special, custom-made championship belts to the chapter with the highest fundraising total and the highest number of individual donors.
See below for information on a very special Milton Caniff Founders Day print giveaway.
Limited Milton Caniff FOUNDERS Print Giveaway
The top 15 donors (minimum gift of $2,500) to Sigma Chi's Annual Fund during the Founders' Day of Giving campaign will receive a hand-signed screened print of “On the morning of June 28, 1855, there was a dual commencement ceremony at Old Miami…”, a portrait of Sigma Chi's founding famously drawn by legendary late cartoonist and Significant Sig Milton Caniff, OHIO STATE 1930.
Fewer than 40 of these prints, put together during the 1980s, were recently rediscovered in the Sigma Chi Foundation offices in Evanston, Illinois. In pristine condition, only 16 of the 20 copies hand-signed by Caniff, who entered chapter eternal in 1989, remain.
Following the top 15 donors, the next 20 donors in order of their gift at the White Cross Trust level ($1,000) or above will receive an unsigned copy of this historic print.
Each print will be shipped with a certificate of authenticity.
