Alpha Phi Omega-Theta Alumni Association Endowment Fund An investment in the future of service

APO-Theta’s Service Program For over 70 years, APO-Theta has performed a broad scope of service in the Charlottesville community and on UVA grounds, including  Chairing blood drives  Improving Ivy Creek, Camp Holiday Trails, Barrett Day Care  Supporting Garrett Square and Westhaven communities  Starting the University Escort Service  Renovating the Fluvanna County Community Centers  Supporting the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts Amazingly, the chapter has performed these activities with no outside financial support.

Why is outside financial support a priority? Current service project funding comes from chapter dues, the occasional car wash, etc. — meager resources at best More groups approach APO-Theta to do service every semester, often needing APO-Theta to supply wood, materials, and tools Chapter brothers are willing, but do not have the financial means to fulfill all requests For this reason, providing a means to enhance and preserve APO’s service program has become a priority for many brothers and alumni

The means to enhance & preserve Theta’s service program: To provide financial support to the service program, a former long-term advisor of APO- Theta has presented a challenge grant to the alumni of Theta chapter: He will donate $10, towards the development of an APO-Theta Endowment Fund provided that Theta alumni match his donation by raising an additional $40, by February 2004, Theta Chapter’s 75 th Anniversary.
