“One must know not just how to accept a gift, but with what grace to share it.”

-Maya Angelou

The Alpha Kappa Chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma at the University of Alabama takes Philanthropy and the surrounding communities very seriously. We host many events a semester to benefit those members of society that could use a helping hand. In Phi Kappa Sigma, it is both a privilege and a duty to serve and benefit the community any way we can.

DKMS

DKMS is one of our National Philanthropies and something we at Phi Kappa Sigma take part in. DKMS is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the fight against blood cancer and blood disorders by: creating awareness; recruiting bone marrow donors to provide a second chance at life; raising funds to match donor registration costs; supporting the improvement of therapies through research; and supporting patients from day one of their diagnoses.

leukemia and lymphoma society

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) is our largest National Philanthropy. We have spent several years with them and have worked together to raise thousands of dollars for victims of cancer. LLS is at the forefront of the fight to cure cancer. Compared to other blood cancer nonprofits, LLS is the largest funder of cutting-edge research to advance cures. We have invested more than $1.2 billion in research. We are leaders in advancing breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine. This research saves lives. These revolutionary new treatments originally discovered through blood cancer research are now being tested in clinical trials for other cancers.
