In whatever form your thoughtfulness comes—time, talent or money—it’s necessary and our need for it is ongoing. Because great things don’t happen overnight, we still need to tap into the generosity of those who appreciate and live Kappa values every day. That’s why I’m writing to you today. Kappa Kappa Gamma needs your help, not just today, but in the future, too, and a planned gift to the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation
