Greek life gives back to various charities – Los Angeles Loyolan : News Sigma Chias Derby Days, Alpha Phias Aphiasco and Pi Beta Phias Arrowspike were all held to raise money and awareness for their respective philanthropies.

Derby Days, Sigma Chias week-long philanthropy event, began on Monday, March 2 and concluded on Friday, March 6. During the week, each of the seven sororities competed in a variety of events, including Derby Ball (volleyball), Derby Dash (capture the flag), a scavenger hunt and more.

Another primary event that occurred during Derby Days was aSnap-a-Sig,a where sorority members took pictures with their corresponding Sigma Chi coaches, while holding facts or statistics about rape.

During Derby Days, Sigma Chi raised money for three organizations, which include the Santa Monica Rape Treatment Center, The Herbert E.

In the past, Sigma Chi has raised as much as $10,000 during Derby Days, and hopes that it raised just as much this year.

While each of the sororities was busy participating in Derby Days last week, Alpha Phi and Pi Beta Phi prepared for their philanthropy events that occurred this past weekend.

Alpha Phias 19th annual philanthropy event, Aphiasco, was held this past Saturday, March 7. Aphiasco, which is a silent auction held in Roski Dining Room, seeks to raise awareness about heart health, the Childrenas Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and the Alpha Phi Foundation.

Sophomore dance major Emilee Theno, who is also the Vice President of Campus Affairs for Alpha Phi, is confident that this yearas Aphiasco event surpassed last yearas in terms of fundraising.

BlackburnNews.com – Rush reluctantly accepts philanthropy award Home / Entertainment / Rush reluctantly accepts philanthropy award

The members of Rush will be receiving another one of those glittering prizes this weekend: the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award, honouring their decades of dedicated philanthropy.

The gifted Toronto power-prog trio is characteristically low-key about the honour, which will be issued during a Juno Awards ceremony.

If Rush’s generosity was a bit of a secret, they wouldn’t have minded if it stayed that way.

“It’s a way that you can do it as a unit, which Rush is, without making really a big deal about it,” guitarist Alex Lifeson said recently from Toronto.

“This is really great to get this award it’s always very humbling but this is just something that you’re supposed to do. We don’t make a big deal out of it.”

Among their charitable contributions, Rush has donated significantly to Toronto Food Bank, United Way, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the New Orleans-assisting Make it Right Foundation, Doctors Without Borders, Alberta Flood Relief and Casey House.

Lifeson and his peerless bandmates Neil Peart and Geddy Lee are currently preparing to rehearse for their upcoming 40th anniversary tour practising for practise, basically: “We rehearse ourselves to death,” the guitarist said.

He took a break to talk to The Canadian Press about the band’s charity and a 40-year history with the Juno Awards.

CP: You guys didn’t grow up wealthy, but was charity always instilled in you?

Lifeson: We’re all middle, or lower-middle class, suburban kids.

Gates Foundation announces four priority policy areas on college completion, with data system to come @insidehighered

After spending roughly half a billion dollars on the college completion agenda during the last seven years, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is ready to be more assertive about what it thinks should happen in four key areas of higher education policy.

The goal is to “create a national data infrastructure that enables consistent collection and reporting of key performance metrics for all students in all institutions that are essential for promoting the change needed to reform the higher education system to produce more career-relevant credentials,” the foundation said in its strategy paper.

The foundation has collected enough evidence with its many grants and experiments in higher education that it has been able to coalesce around “directions worth emphasizing,” said Daniel Greenstein, the director of education and postsecondary success in the foundation’s U.S.

Yet while Greenstein argues that the newly stated approach is iterative and an attempt to be transparent about the foundation’s evolving views, it’s certain to drum up interest in higher education — some of it critical.

A professor and dean at Claremont Graduate University’s School of Education Studies, Thomas is an expert on the role of Gates Foundation and the Lumina Foundation in higher education. McPherson, president of the Spencer Foundation, said Gates has become more responsive to feedback on their education policy work.

The Gates Foundation is working with higher education associations to come up with a compromise position, said Greenstein. In recent years Gates has helped fund the creation of a hodgepodge of voluntary accountability systems for colleges and higher education groups to measure student progress and institutional effectiveness.

Notable examples include data projects from Gates-funded groups like Complete College America and Completion by Design, as well as higher education association-created systems such as the Student Achievement Measure, the Voluntary Framework of Accountability and the Voluntary System of Accountability.

A Gates proxy, Complete College America, which receives a large chunk of its budget from the foundation, has been aggressive on state policies around remediation.

Physicians improve access to healthcare, educational programs | www.daytondailynews.comPhysicians improve access to healthcare, educational programsRelatedFive members of the Physicians Charitable Foundation of the Miami Valley s Advisory Committee (left to right) Warren Muth, M.D., Alan Klein, M.D., Richard Hoback, M.D., April Garner, D.O. Retired physicians Alan Klein, M.D., vice chair and former president of PCF, and Walter Reiling, M.D., treasurer of PCF, have a strong belief in the good work the foundation is providing the community.

Tell us about The Physicians’ Charitable Foundation. Klein: The Physicians’ Charitable Foundation was established in 1973 as the Western Ohio Foundation for Medical Care. Since funding for PCF originally came from the discounted fees of area physicians and hospitals, the foundation has continued to seek areas where funds can be returned to the medical community to benefit patient care. Thanks to a sound investment strategy and low overhead costs, the dollars awarded to charity are earned from the principle of our Dayton Foundation fund. Klein: We’ve funded such projects as a cardiac alert program for the Fairborn Fire Department, prescription medicine assistance programs, a patient simulation training lab at Wright State University School of Medicine, and a Mobile Health Unit that provides Dayton Public School students with well child and athletic health exams, as well as AIDS, anti-smoking and sun-exposure awareness campaigns, among many other programs.

How often do you award grants, and how can someone learn more about your grantmaking guidelines?

Dr. The Dayton Region is a very friendly, comfortable community, and economically it’s a good place to live.

How does The Dayton Foundation help you help others?

Dr. Klein [this was taken from a 2009 TDF article]: The partnership with The Dayton Foundation has allowed us to focus on awarding grants and growing our foundation. Reiling: Satisfied.

The Dayton Foundation has been helping people help others since 1921 by managing charitable funds, awarding grants to nonprofits and launching community initiatives. Contact the Foundation at (937) 222-0410 or visit www.daytonfoundation.org.

Poor David Geffen. Advocates of this position, as you might imagine, are horrified by Geffen’s apparent insistence on slapping his name on every theater, museum, hospital and building he touches.

But they miss the point that it was Lincoln Center’s leaders who were shopping around the naming rights for the concert hall. data-content-section=”Opinion” data-content-type=”htmlstory” data-content-thumbnail=”http://www.trbimg.com/img-54ff4069/turbine/la-ol-poll-uc-irvine-flag-ban-constitutional-amendment-20150310″ data-content-url=”/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-poll-uc-irvine-flag-ban-constitutional-amendment-20150310-htmlstory.html”>
