A pledge of Kappa Delta is raising money for one of its members who was diagnosed with breast cancer. The CrowdRise page has raised more than $3,000 since Nov. 4.

At age 21, Sarah Stockton, a senior political science and communications studies major, was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Since the cancer spread to her lymph nodes, her current treatment plan is chemotherapy once a week with the possibility of surgeries in the future.

Kappa Delta set their goal at $10,000 to help with Stockton's treatment.

Stockton spent last summer as an intern in Washington, D.C., through The Fund for American Studies program and intends to work in public policy after graduation.Aside from being a member of Kappa Delta, Stockton is an SGA Senator. She has been Vice President of Community Service for Panhellic Council and is currently the president of Lambda Pi Eta, a communications studies honorary.

After joining the debate team a year ago, Stockton and her debate partner competed in Worlds in India in the winter of 2014.
