Philanthropy

ABOUT OUR PHILANTHROPY

Arthritis

Alpha Omicron Pi’s international philanthropy is arthritis, and our philanthropy partner is the Arthritis Foundation. Since 1967, members and chapters have raised millions of dollars to fund research, provide resources, and support those affected by arthritis, a disease that disproportionately impacts women and also affects children.

AOII’s philanthropy dollars support several impactful Arthritis Foundation initiatives, including the Juvenile Arthritis Power Pack program, Juvenile Arthritis Camps, the Juvenile Arthritis Family Summit, and the 24/7 Helpline. Our Canadian sisters proudly support The Arthritis Society of Canada, furthering our shared mission to fight arthritis and improve lives.

OUR Local Efforts

Kappa Lambda is proud to live out AOII’s values through philanthropy and service. Our national philanthropy is arthritis awareness and research, and our chapter supports that mission through events like Pi a Pie and Strike Out Arthritis, which help bring our members and community together for a meaningful cause. In addition to our work for arthritis, we also participate in other service efforts throughout the year, including a breast cancer run, assembling care packages for a local women’s shelter, and visiting elderly homes to deliver cards and spend time with residents. These experiences reflect the heart of our chapter and the many ways our sisters strive to make a difference both on campus and in the greater community.
