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 Pi Omicron! Here's how we're making an impact in our community:In the past year, we raised $3,000 through our philanthropic efforts. Our chapter hosts Pi an AOII and Strike Out Arthritis in the fall to support arthritis awareness and research. In addition to our support for arthritis, we also support the Yellow Ribbon Fund, since we are a military-affiliated campus. The Yellow Ribbon Fund helps soldiers and their families move overseas, soldiers who may be experiencing hardships, and offers scholarships. These efforts are held close to our hearts because many of our sisters have received help from the Yellow Ribbon Fund.
