Shamrock is an annual fundraising campaign supported by every national Kappa Delta chapter to fight child abuse and support families going through abuse-related trauma. Our local chapter of Kappa Delta's annual fundraising efforts culminate in an annual 5k race. We are so excited to host the 33nd Annual Shamrock 5k, which will be hosted in-person this year on March 28th.

Twenty percent of the proceeds from our race benefit the national leader in child abuse prevention, Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA), and eighty percent of the proceeds stay local, benefitting the Center for Child and Family Health (CCFH) in Durham, North Carolina. With nearly $100,000 raised last year, our chapter remains one of CCFH's largest donors to their Healthy Future's Fund which supports prevention programs and clinical treatment for survivors of abuse and neglect. We are so honored to support the work of PCAA and CCFH every year in the fight to ensure every child grows up in a safe and healthy environment.

We appreciate your support for our 2026 fundraising efforts and hope to see you on Race Day in March!

About Chapel Hill

Scenic and regularly decked out in "Carolina blue", Chapel Hill is a lovely college town in North Carolina that makes up the westernmost point of the Research Triangle. The town is the smallest of the Triangle's three cities, with an influence and pull that belies its size. Based around the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the town caters heavily to the local student population, with plenty of bars and restaurants near the university's beautiful campus. Immediately to the west of Chapel Hill is the adjacent town of Carrboro, an old mill town now known for its local shops, restaurants and nightlife.
