Pi Beta Phi raises funds for worthy cause
Apr 5, 2006 by JRF Admin
Pi Beta Phi sorority raised over $5700 for the Jeannette Rankin Foundation (JRF) with their annual spring dart tournament. This year’s tournament was held on April 5 at The Georgia Theater and featured live music and door prizes.
The mission of Pi Beta Phi is to promote friendship, develop women of intellect and integrity, cultivate leadership potential, and enrich lives through community service. In fulfilling this mission, the University of Georgia sorority has named JRF as one of their philanthropies.
JRF awards grants to help low-income women, ages 35 and older, earn a college education. Since 1976, JRF has awarded grants to 442 women across the U.S. The recipients of JRF grants are hardworking, motivated women who know the value of an education in breaking the cycle of poverty.
The funds raised by Pi Beta Phi were presented to JRF board member and UGA law professor Peter Appel at a presentation on April 24.
