Hopefully all of you were able to spend time with family and friends over the holiday season. Our organization has a busy calendar as we move into the New Year and Spring. The Scholarship Committee is collaborating with the Collegiate Relations team to promote our scholarships to all campuses and alumnae chapters and we hope to have a recordnumber of applicants. After two events in December (Celebration of Charity and Kendra Scott Event), the Events Committee is planning a wonderful end of year Celebration of Sisterhood at the Arizona Country Club on April 30th. Information about tickets for that event will be coming out after our January meeting. If you haven’t checked out the PPA website in awhile, we have a new page to promote businesses for our sorority community - please contact our Media Relations Committee to have your business added.
And our premiere fundraising event of the year - Waste Management Open - is in February. Thank you to those of you who have already signed up to volunteer - there are still some spots Friday - Sunday and I would love to see you out with all of us. It is agreat way to spend time with your Panhellenic sisters and fraternity brothers and to provide support to our mission of promoting education through the scholarship program. Oursocial media and website have more information - and our Philanthropic Projects Committee is quick to respond to any questions.

We are thrilled to announce Phoenix Panhellenic Association gathered more than 700+ stuffed animals for A Mighty Change of Heart. AMCH provides personalized duffle bags to children in the foster system to take with them as they move from location to location. These duffel bags are sometimes the only belongings these children have. AMCH works to make sure the duffle bags contain essential items such as new clothes, shoes, toys, hygiene products, books and of course a stuffed animal!
