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

We’re proud to continue this legacy of service at Beta Tau! Here’s how we’re making an impact in our community: Last year, we supported local efforts by donating to both the fire station and the Arthritis Society of Canada. We also volunteered in our community by picking up trash to help keep our neighborhood clean. In addition, we continued our legacy of service by supporting arthritis awareness and research through Alpha Fest, as well as our annual philanthropic event, Pie a Pie, where members could “pie a sister” for a great cause. We also donated clothes through a sisterhood initiative, helping provide needed support to those in our local area and promoting sustainable giving.
