Our biggest philanthropy event is coming up this Saturday,
APHIASCO! In 1996, the Zeta Beta chapter of LMU Alpha Phi organized the first
inaugural Aphiasco event, a live and silent auction benefiting the Alpha Phi
Foundation, an organization that has supported women’s cardiac health. Inspired
by the success of Aphiasco, the majority of Alpha Phi chapters across the
country have adopted similar events as integral parts of their philanthropic
efforts – our chapter is so proud to have created an event that has
been able to support finding a cure for women’s cardiac disease, and The
Heart Institute at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Our Zeta Beta chapter
continues to be one of the top contributing Alpha Phi chapters, collectively
raising over $500,000 in support of the Alpha Phi Foundation. Aphiasco is an
inspiring evening that continues to make a huge difference in cardiac care
through CHLA and The Alpha Phi Foundation. Last year, we made over $52,000
through Aphiasco, more than all the sororities on campus combined! We are very
proud of our success through this philanthropy.

Speaking of philanthropies, this year we
started a new philanthropy, DANCE MARATHON! LMU Dance Marathon is Alpha Phi’s
fall philanthropy supporting the Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital Los
Angeles. At this dance marathon, participants dance their hearts out for some
truly incredible kids! LMU's Dance Marathon includes entertainment from the
entire LMU community, including student dance crews, singers and DJ's, as well
as special guests from CHLA. Dance Marathon is a nation wide philanthropy event
that has collectively raised $62 million dollars for the Children’s Miracle
Network Hospitals, and we are honored to have the opportunity to bring such an
amazing event to LMU. At the 2014 Dance Marathon, the event raised $8,545 for
The Heart Institute at CHLA. We look forward to continuing this incredible
event supporting the children at CHLA.
