During the 2018 Westside Nut Club Fall Festival, the Indiana Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at the University of Evansville raised $2,500 for Chemo Buddies. However, the money was donated to Chemo Buddies through PayPal and Facebook's #GivingTuesday where PayPal and Facebook match donations to organizations dollar for dollar, making the fraternity's donation $5,000.

A Chemo Buddy is a volunteer who works in the chemotherapy treatment room directly with patients. The goal of the Chemo Buddies program is to make the treatment day a more comfortable experience physically, mentally and spiritually.
