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 Gamma Delta! Here's how we're making an impact in our community: In 2025 alone, we raised over $38,000 through our philanthropic efforts. Our chapter hosts Strike Out Arthritis in the fall, and Alpha Male Pageant in the Spring to support juvenile arthritis awareness and research. In addition to our support of arthritis, locally we support Camp M.A.S.H, a camp here in Mobile for kids suffering from JA. We also support Sisters for Soldiers through food drives throughout the year.
