    ΑΣΑ Foundation Celebrates 25 Years

From the Phoenix of Alpha Sigma Alpha – Summer 2011
By Jessica McKenna, ZΠ
Foundation Chairman 2008-11

It is hard to believe that on Oct. 23, 2011, the Foundation will
celebrate its 25th year of working to provide support to the sorority
through charitable giving. Since 1986, the Foundation has gown
tremendously, all due to the incredible generosity of Foundation donors.
Take a look at all that we have to celebrate.

-         More than $500,000 in grants and scholarships have been
         awarded to the sorority and individual members as well as non-
         members.
-        The Emma Coleman Frost Leadership Development Institute
         continues to be a dynamic personal leadership development
         program supported in party by Foundation grants.
-        The first scholarship endowment by Lois V. Beers, BΓ, inspired
         many others. Since 1990, the number of Foundation scholarships
         has grown to a total of 26 that are awarded annually.
-        Foundation grants for District Day programming by the
         Leadership Institute – Women with Purpose have provided
         opportunities for volunteers, alumnae and collegians to attend
         professional leadership training.
-        1,800 individuals have had gifts made in their honor to the
         Foundation generating more than $100,000 in donations in
         the last five years.
-        The Foundation has awarded more than 350 scholarships.
-        The second biennial Red Tie Dinner, a new Foundation tradition,
         helped raise more than $30,000 at the 2010 national convention
         & leadership conference.
-        Since its creation four years ago, more than 600 collegiate
         members have joined or renewed membership in the 1901
         Society.
-        The Foundation launched its own Facebook and Twitter pages,
         as well as Giving Matters, an e-newsletter to keep donors
         informed and connected.

The best part about this list is that these accomplishments are only the
beginning. Thank you for 25 fabulous years. Your support secures the
future of Alpha Sigma Alpha for decades to come.
