Due to our chapter expenses required for both philanthropic and educational activities, we are asking for your support to help NSSLHA raise money. A donation from you would facilitate our support of worthy charitable organizations in the Charleston community. Your donation would also be of considerable help in allowing NSSLHA student members to participate in educational experiences, such as the 2008 ASHA Convention.
