Sorority hosts abuse prevention program

Kappa Delta sorority at Lenoir-Rhyne University will host a walk-a-thon on April 10 to benefit children in the community who are victims of abuse and neglect.
Registration for "No Excuse for Abuse" will be held from 10:30 to 11 a.m. April 10 in front of Shuford Gym on the Lenoir-Rhyne campus. The walk begins at 11 a.m.
The student registration fee is $10, and the nonstudent registration fee is $15. Eighty percent of proceeds will remain in North Carolina, benefiting local efforts to prevent child abuse. The remaining 20 percent will go to Prevent Child Abuse America, the sorority's national philanthropy, for nationwide public awareness programs.
The sorority will join thousands of Kappa Deltas throughout the nation to raise funds to benefit local affiliates and chapters of PCA America.
"This is an awesome opportunity for family, friends and students to all come out and have a great time raising money for this charity," said Alyssa Carlson, a walk-a-thon planner.
According to recent PCA America statistics, there are more than 35 reported cases of child abuse in Catawba County each year. Nationwide, three children die each day from abuse or neglect.
Founded in 1897, Kappa Delta Sorority began supporting PCA America in 1981.
