Alpha Sigma Alpha members, family and friends-
Founders' Day brings the opportunity to reflect on the history of Alpha Sigma Alpha and donate in celebration of all of the ways it has positively changed our lives. The Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation encourages you to join in Friday, Nov. 14 and Saturday, Nov. 15 and Joyously Give. We challenge each member to identify two other members to connect with and encourage to participate!
This year there is a new opportunity to help your collegiate chapter win a prize pack by meeting or exceeding the chapter's donor goal. You can help your chapter win new marketing materials, Crimson Collections apparel or an exclusive conversation with a keynote speaker for national convention & leadership conference.
Alumnae chapters have an opportunity to win a prize as well. The alumnae chapter with the highest percent participation from its roster will win an Alpha Sigma Alpha branded tablecloth.
