In a heartwarming display of dedication and service, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. has announced a new fundraising commitment of $2 million to support the noble cause of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
For over two decades, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. has been a steadfast partner of St. Jude in their mission to make a difference in the lives of children worldwide battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Through initiatives like St. Jude Sunday of Hope and the annual St. Jude Walk/Run, the fraternity has already raised more than $3 million for the renowned children's hospital.
During the Vicennium Partnership Banquet at the Masonic Temple in Memphis, members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. gathered to celebrate their enduring alliance with St. Jude. The event, hosted by various chapters of the fraternity and sponsored by the local Memphis Kappa Alpha Psi Achievement Foundation, marked the beginning of a new chapter in their partnership.
The fraternity's commitment goes beyond fundraising numbers; it embodies a shared vision of creating hope and saving lives where it is needed most. By pledging an additional $2 million over the next three years, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. is reinforcing its dedication to supporting research and treatment for childhood diseases and illnesses.
The fundraising efforts of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and other organizations affiliated with the National Pan-Hellenic Council play a crucial role in ensuring that families supported by St. Jude never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. This invaluable assistance allows families to focus on what truly matters – helping their child thrive.
Members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. presented generous donations totaling nearly $15,000 at the Vicennium Partnership Banquet, kickstarting their ambitious $2 million fundraising goal. The fraternity's Grand Polemarch, Jimmy McMikle, encouraged members, affiliates, and supporters worldwide to join hands in advancing St. Jude's vital mission.
The collaboration between Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital exemplifies the power of collective action in giving every child the chance to lead a fulfilling life. Together, they are champions of hope, compassion, and unwavering support for those in need.
