In April 2009, the brothers of Epsilon Lambda  joined with the sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (our chapter's philanthropic organization) to set up the 1st Walk to Cure Diabetes in Paducah.  The brothers volunteered their time and talent and helped to raise ove $90,000 to go toward finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes.  The brothers look forward to contributing to this great philanthropic event in the future.
