Alpha Epsilon Phi is proud to announce that the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation has been adopted as our second national philanthropy. Founded by Elizabeth Glaser, and AEPhi alumna from the University of Wisconsin, the foundation was established in 1988 after Elizabeth and her two children, Jake and Ariel Glaser, were diagnosed with HIV. The foundation was named in Elizabeth's memory after her death in 1994. More information about the Pediatric AIDS foundation can be found at their official website, http://www.pedaids.org.

On September 29, 2001 AEPhi presented "54", a disco party whose proceeds benefitted the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. In its first year, "54" raised over $300 for Pediatric AIDS. We are looking forward to presenting "54" again in fall 2002! Click here to see pictures from "54".

The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation joins our other national philanthropy, the Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Tel-Hashomer, Israel. We support this hospital, the only one in Israel with a dedicated children's ward, every year with our annual "Spirit Link" fundraiser.

The Alpha Epsilon chapter is active in working for both of these charities. Alpha Epsilon chapter has twice won the prestigious Elizabeth Meyer Glaser award for our work with community service. This award is given annually at our National Convention for the Alpha Epsilon Phi chapter with the most outstanding community service.
