[Atlanta, GA] – In celebration of 40 years with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), Alpha Delta Pi hosted its inaugural Week of Service October 26 through November 2, 2019. The organization asked alumnae to choose one day throughout the week to give back, whether that was to their local Ronald McDonald House or another cause in their community. Friends and families were also encouraged to participate.
Our Alumnae Associations and several individual members registered 81 events, including 15 virtual events for our international sisters. Alumnae and collegians participated by cooking/cleaning for their local Ronald McDonald House, walking/running for various causes, collecting toys and creating goody bags for children, and so much more!
“Service is a core part of ADPi sisterhood. No matter where you live, or what age you are, you can give back, participate, and share in an act of service with sisters. We are so very proud to see how our alumnae responded to this idea in its first year that created new connections for our alumnae sisters and contributed thousands of service hours!”
– Rebecca Gentry, Alumnae Relations Director Chair
Alpha Delta Pi plans to host a Week of Service every fall moving forward as a way to celebrate its longstanding relationship with Ronald McDonald House Charities and other local and regional philanthropies. In the 2018-2019 school year, Alpha Delta Pi collegians and alumnae raised $1,411,485 for Ronald McDonald House Charities. Throughout our 40-year history, we have raised more than $15,400,00 in support of RMHC.

ATLANTA (October 24, 2019) – At the 168th Grand Convention, the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation announced grants for five chapters of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Through a newly established endowed fund that was created as part of the Foundation’s landmark $10,000,000 We Believe Campaign, collegiate chapters, alumnae, parents, and friends of Alpha Delta Pi have helped raise more than $620,000 with a purpose of furthering the reach of our philanthropic partnership with RMHC.
Five grants of $5,000 each were awarded to the following local RMHCs:
Through this new initiative, we’ve been able to expand the impact of Alpha Delta Pi support by helping to provide the resources for local RMHCs even if they do not have a local Alpha Delta Pi collegiate chapter or alumnae association nearby.
As Alpha Delta Pi celebrates our 40th Anniversary as a National Partner with RMHC, we remain committed to helping Keep Families Close. Through fundraising millions of dollars annually, volunteering in local RMHCs, and becoming RMHC volunteers, Alpha Delta Pi members across the US and Canada have demonstrated their commitment to RMHC and the difference RMHC makes in the lives of families as they face life-saving medical situations.
