I am proudest of AOII because of its commitment to our philanthropy, Arthritis research and more recently, juvenile arthritis. Arthritis affects millions of Americans, is the #1 cause of disability in this country, and certain types of arthritis target women and children in particular. Our international philanthropy was previously another worthwhile cause, Frontier Nursing. After supporting that cause for many years, AOII felt it was important to make a change, get behind the arthritis cause, and recognize the significance of helping to raise awareness and fund arthritis research grants.
In being an active volunteer for the Arthritis cause, I strive to set a positive example in the greek community and on a national level, as an AOII alum who literally walks the Walk!
