Alpha Phi sorority collaborates with UMaine Dining, others for fundraiser
Members of the University of Maine’s Alpha Phi sorority recently raised more than $2,000 for the Alpha Phi Foundation.
In February, members of the group held a “Mac N Phi’s” event at Orono Brewing Company in Orono. Mac and cheese for sale was donated by individuals and groups including UMaine Dining.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Alpha Phi Foundation, which funds leadership development and training for women, graduate and undergraduate scholarships, financial aid for members who are facing crisis and improvements for women’s heart health through the Heart to Heart Grant program.
“Events like Mac N Phi’s are important because we are able to promote wonderful organizations and charities in fun ways,” says Ashley Russell, Alpha Phi’s vice president of community relations. “I am beyond amazed at the participation from this community and hope to continue this partnership in the future.”
