Diseme Program Gets Donation THE CAROLINIAN—THURSDAY, APRIL 19,1984—PAGE 11 CHAPEL HILL - Funds totaling more than $2,000 have been donated to the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Program at the University of North Carolina at chapel Hill. Dr. Eugene P. Orringer, associate professor of medicine and director of the program, said that Spindale Mills, Inc., in Spindale had given $1,700 and the Xi Gamma chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., had given $300. The money will be used for patient care and for re search, Orringer said. "All of us associated with the UNC-CH program feel honored to be selected as recipient of the Spindale Mills Corporate Charity Fund of 1984." he said. "This type of charity program is a unique and very smart way of pursuing philanthropic goals." Steve McBrayer, assist ant vice president of Spindale Mills, said that the UNC-CH program was one of eight agencies given money. This year the company decided to have an integral charity drive. Employees were selected to serve on a committee that, chose eight agencies. These agencies included in the UNC-CH program, the American Cancer Society and the March of Dimes. Employees then picked the agencies they wanted to contribute to through payroll deductions. "This was the most successful contributions drive we've ever had." McBrayer said. "The company was impressed by the employee participation. We had 85 percent partici pation out of about 800 employees. "We felt that if the employees wanted to give so much, then we ought to give also,” he said. "The company decided to match the amount of money that the employees gave. We termed it a partnership, and it worked out really well." Phi Beta Sigma Frater nity not only contributed money to the UNC-CH program, but it also sponsored a Sickle Cell Awareness Week in February. Johnny Smith, a senior and chairperson of the Sickle Cell Awareness Week program, said the fraternity examined several organiza tions before deciding where to make its contribution. “We chose to fund sickle icell in order to enlarge the awarenedss of the black campus,” he said. "During a session with Dr. Orringer, we found out that one out of every 12 blacks carries the sickle cell trait. “Sickle cell also had a personal appeal to us because some of the people within the Phi Beta Sigma organization carry the trait," Smith said that the frater nity would continue col lecting money for sickle cell. "We feel they are to be greatly commended for what they set out to do and have done in the last month," Orringer said. “They raised money, but beyond that they took it upon themselves to educate blacks on campus and on the campus at large. And they also learned a lot about sickle cell themselves." The UNC-CH Compre hensive Sickle Cell Program was established in 1981 at N.C. Memorial Hospital. It serves 235 individuals and their families. \m i ISiiiiiiBsiiiSiSis DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM—The Tuttle Community Center held an annual demon stration program of two-year-olds recently, with the theme, “Young Children Look at Your World, It’s All Around You.” The two-year-olds demonstrated singing, speaking, movement education and music exploration.
