Philanthropy

From the time of our founding, Alpha Delta Pi has believed in the importance of giving back to our community. A dedication to philanthropy guides our members to spend time in the service of those who need it most. Our international organization’s commitment to Ronald McDonald House Charities has led to the donation of over $15,000,000 over the course of our partnership. More than 350 Ronald McDonald Houses in 64 countries help keep families with seriously ill or injured children together when they need it most by offering them a comfortable, temporary residence in proximity to a medical facility.

Ronald McDonald House Charities Mission Statement:

The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities is to create, find, and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and their families. A world where all children have access to medical care and their families are supported and actively involved in their children’s care. Keeping families together and near the care they need.

 

What Do We Do To Support This Mission?

  • As a chapter we hold fundraising events such as our LemonADPi which raised money that went to Ronald McDonald House in Sacramento.
  • Every year we host Lions Cup which is a week long fundraiser with different events each day. With the participation and support of other sororities and fraternities we are able to raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities. 
  • On weekends, we have “work parties” at our local Ronald McDonald House in Sacramento and volunteer helping with various tasks such as weeding or cleaning up.
