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 Rho Omicron. Here’s how we’re making an impact in our community:In the past year, we raised over $10,000 in support of our local philanthropy, Special Kids of Murfreesboro, by hosting our annual All Sing event. This event is one of our favorite traditions and allows us to give back to an organization that makes a meaningful difference in our community.In addition, we support Alpha Omicron Pi’s national philanthropy, the Arthritis Foundation. Each year, we host Kick Out Arthritis to raise awareness and funds for arthritis research, continuing AOII’s longstanding commitment to this important cause.
