The Alpha Phi Foundation
Since the foundation was created in 1956, the women of Alpha Phi have strived to raise money for the three important areas that make up the foundation:
-
Cardiac Care: Money is raised to fund research to better women's heart health.
-
Forget-Me-Not Fund: This special fund is designed for sisters at any point in their life who need assistance during a time of financial distress.
-
Scholarship: Alpha Phi supports sisters who need financial assistance with school by creating special scholarships.
At The University of Akron, we host two major philanthropy events that raise money for The Alpha Phi Foundation. Our two major events are:
-
King of Hearts: King of Hearts is held during the fall semester. Each year we recruit men to compete for the title of "King of Hearts." Our competition alines closely with a male beauty pageant. Our women work hard coaching these men so they can show off their talents on the big night. We do this all while raising money for a great cause.
-
Red Dress Gala: Our Red Dress Gala is our formal banquet that we host every spring. Family, friends, alumni, and other Greek Life members are invited to join us for the evening. We enjoy dinner, dancing, a silent auction, and an evening acknowledging why our organization exists. During our Red Dress Gala of Spring 2017, we were able to raise a total of over $11,000 for the foundation.
