One of the main things that Alpha Phi values is philanthropy. Every year, Mizzou Alpha Phi hosts the Rockin’ Red Dress Poker Tournament and proceeds from the event benefit women’s cardiac care through the Alpha Phi Foundation.
“The Alpha Phi Foundation is important because it is so influential to individuals, hospitals, research and the advancement of women’s cardiac care. They make it their mission to not only donate and support women’s cardiac care, but to influence and educate future leaders that will further the Foundation’s efforts,” Director of Philanthropy Michelle Kramer said.
This year, the event is on Feb. 22 in the Reynolds Alumni Center on campus. You can sign up for the event and make a donation here. Last year, Mizzou Alpha Phi raised over $16,000 and the goal is to exceed last year’s proceeds.
There are some new additions to the event this year such as vendors from Stella&Dot, A-list Designs and Southern Tide. There are also new activities such as a photo area, activities for kids and a larger Silent Auction.
The Rockin’ Red Dress Poker Tournament is such a large event and it means a lot to us that we are able to make a difference.
“I take pride in knowing that we are doing our small part as a chapter through our poker tournament and helping sisters in need everywhere,” Michelle Kramer said.
We rock the red dress to make a difference. It’s a great event for a great cause and we hope to see you there!
