Beta Gamma Upsilon (BGU) is a philanthropic sorority that was founded in 1905 with the purpose of promoting charity, sociability and friendship. The Beta Nu Chapter of BGU has twelve active members in the Aurora, Illinois area. Every year we host the “Cupids Caper Dinner Dance” which has affectionately become known among attendees as “The Dog Dance.” This Valentine-themed fundraiser is decorated with the traditional colors of red, pink and white and complimented with the theme of “LOVE.”
We rely heavily on the support of local small businesses, corporations and individuals who donate raffle items, purchase auction items and sell tickets for our event. It is because of their support that our sorority is able to fulfill our philanthropic obligations.
However, our success at meeting our obligations is measured by more than just our monetary fundraising efforts. Our success is measured by the difference we make in the lives of those challenged by blindness. It is that difference that inspires Beta Nu to continue its labor of love and charity year after year!
