Red Dress Impact Celebration: From Fundraisers to Lifesavers
On Friday, June 28th, Alpha Phi Foundation hosted the Red Dress Impact Celebration Dinner during Alpha Phi’s 74th Biennial Convention. This event was held to recognize 31 years of awarding our signature Heart to Heart Grant, including the inaugural Heart to Heart Community Grant, 20 years of Red Dress events, and the profound impact Alpha Phi has had in saving women’s lives.
We kickstarted the event with a celebratory video highlighting the rich history of our philanthropy and the significant role Alpha Phi has had in improving women’s heart health and cardiac research.
Then we really got our hearts pumping after a fundraising challenge was issued to the women in the room to raise $25,000 for the next Heart to Heart Community Grant. What happened next can only be described as awe-inspiring and truly representative of what it means to be an Alpha Phi. Attendees of all ages from chapters all over began to share their heartfelt stories of how Alpha Phi and our commitment to heart health has impacted them. In just a few short hours, our initial goal was shattered.
Together, we raised more than $115,000 to continue funding cardiac research endeavors and education.
Thank you to ALL Alpha Phi Foundation donors who have made our support of women’s heart health possible. Every gift matters and YOU are saving lives. You can still make an impact by making a gift here.
Alpha Phi Foundation also proudly unveiled a newly designed Red Dress pin, available to all Chapters to order online for philanthropy events. Please visit aphifdn.org/RedDressPins to order. Each Chapter is able to receive up to 100 complimentary pins annually.
