Alpha Omicron Pi’s Philanthropy
Alpha Omicron Pi strives to empower women through education and leadership development. One way we do this is by focusing our philanthropy efforts on organizations that support these values. We have supported the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Arthritis Foundation, and the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, among others.
The Arthritis Foundation
The Arthritis Foundation is the main philanthropy of Alpha Omicron Pi. The Arthritis Foundation is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to serving all people with arthritis. Their mission is to improve lives through leadership in the prevention, control and cure of arthritis and related diseases. The Arthritis Foundation provides public health education, funds scientific research and assists those affected by arthritis.
Camp A.O.P.I
Alpha Omicron Pi’s national philanthropy is Camp A.O.P.I., which stands for Arthritis Outreach Prevention and Information. Camp A.O.P.I. is a summer camp for children with juvenile arthritis, which is a form of arthritis that affects children under the age of 16. The camp provides these children with a chance to meet other kids who have juvenile arthritis, and gives them a chance to participate in activities that they may not be able to do at home because of their condition.
AOII Foundation
The AOII Foundation was established in 1989 to support the educational, leadership and philanthropic initiatives of Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority. The Foundation has awarded more than $5 million in scholarships and grants to AOII members nationwide, and its cornerstone philanthropy is the fight against arthritis.
One in four adults – nearly 54 million Americans – have arthritis, making it the nation’s leading cause of disability. Arthritis doesn’t discriminate; it affects people of all ages, genders, races and ethnicities. There are many different types of arthritis, but they all have one thing in common: pain. The AOII Foundation funds research to find a cure for this painful and debilitating disease so that one day, we will Live for Blue… Without pain!
Conclusion
Alpha Omicron Pi women are doers. They are passionate about their philanthropy, and they work hard to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether it is raising money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or volunteering at a local food bank, these women are always looking for ways to give back.
