Bleed Purple Foundation

Overview
The Bleed Purple Foundation is a recognized charitable organization under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code located in Denver, Colorado. Founded in 2005 by members of the Theta Zeta chapter of Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity in order to aid one of their brothers who was diagnosed with stage III-B Hodgkin's Lymphoma. As a sign of brotherhood and steadfast solidarity, the brothers came together and organized a head-shaving auction on the University of San Diego campus which raised more than US$4,000 for their brother. Thus, Bleed Purple was born.

Bleed Purple's mission is to support college students suffering from cancer. As a college student, making ends meet can often be a challenge. Between classes, campus club meetings, unpaid internships and late-night study groups, finding time for a job that pays rent, let alone medical bills, is nearly impossible.

Bleed Purple strives to bring together the Greek community in an effort to support college students diagnosed with cancer. The principal goal of Bleed Purple is to provide relief to college students with cancer who are facing financial hardships that often accompany the disease.
