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

The AOII Kappa Sigma chapter proudly supports the Arthritis Foundation through a variety of philanthropic efforts and awareness initiatives. Throughout the year, we host events like Strikeout Arthritis and Color Out Arthritis, and we also participate in the Jingle Bell Run in the fall and the Walk to Cure Arthritis in the spring. Through these efforts, our members raise funds, spread awareness, and support those impacted by arthritis while building a strong sense of community and purpose.
