Day of Giving 2025
Put your #HeartForAlphaGam into action! ❤️
The combination of ambition, determination and heart is what makes Alpha Gam sisters unstoppable.
#AlphaGamGives is our seventh annual Day of Giving celebrating sisterhood and contributing to the world’s work in support of women’s philanthropy, education and leadership.
Last year, Alpha Gam sisters, family and friends showed up hearts-first and helped us raise $361,722 by participating in Matches and Challenges, sharing photos of our beloved furry friends and celebrating with one another across social media.
Day of Giving is one of few opportunities where sisters and supporters from across the globe come together with one intention - making an impact on our members and communities.
We hope you'll join us again this year. Our goal is 1,000 donors and gifts of all sizes count. We need you!
Let’s show the world what happens when one sisterhood puts their hearts together for 1,904 minutes!
