Delta Club has
recently re-joined forces with the West TN Chapter of the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation. Several club members provided
communications for their annual "Walk to Cure Diabetes" held on October
6, 2007. We look forward to a continued relationship with JDRF.

For many years,
Delta Club has worked with the local office of the March of Dimes to
provide communications support for their fundraising activities.
The primary fund raising effort each year is their infamous
"WalkAmerica" that takes place around the third Saturday in
April. Records date back to at least 1995 in our support of this
group, however our work with MOD is probably much longer than that.

Since 2002, Delta
Club has worked closely with the Mid-South Chapter of the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society in providing communications for not one, but
two events each year. In the Spring the chapter sponsors a "MS
Walk" and in the Fall, there is the annual MS Bike Tour – FedEx Express
“Rock-n-Roll” is a 2-day ride of scenic
bicycling. Starting from Graceland, Home of the “King” of Rock-n-Roll,
the ride is 150 miles of rolling road on the way to Tunica, MS and the
Gold Strike Casino Resort. Delta Club provides communications for
all rest stops, SAG trucks, bike repair trucks and other locations as
needed.

While St. Jude has
only been the title sponsor for the annual Memphis Marathon since 2002,
Delta Club members have supported the annual run with communications
before and during the event since the early 1990's. This is
probably the largest event that we do each year, in the number of
amateur operators required. It takes around 35-40 radio operators
to properly provide the communications support that is needed.
The Marathon is held on the first Saturday of December and currently
begins near and finishes inside AutoZone Park in downtown
Memphis. This year's event will be on December 1, 2007.
