Through the use oftechnology and an expanded Ambassadors Program of volunteers in all five <strong>Sigma</strong><strong>Kappa</strong> districts to advocate for the Foundation at chapter and regional events, moreeffective communication about the use of charitable dollars can be achieved, whichis critical to maintaining donor confidence.Fundraising: Expanding the impact of the <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> Foundation throughfundraising results is the ultimate goal and will require initial investments inpersonnel, training and resources to achieve expansive growth. <strong>The</strong> developmentof a culture of philanthropy among collegiate chapters now will ensure that <strong>Sigma</strong><strong>Kappa</strong> members are not only future supporters of <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong>, but thoughtful,philanthropic members of their communities and our world. Engaging alumnaechapters in the Foundation dialogue will help to generate new sources of income.Securing major and planned gift commitments will be critical to the long-termfuture of the organization and will be a major focus.Leadership/Governance: <strong>The</strong> Board of Trustees will define its responsibilitiesand that of its staff in order to transition to a governance model of leadership,which is critical to enabling trustees to actively fundraise for the organization.Expansion of the board and the strategic recruitment of key volunteers willdiversify involvement. Regular review of committee structures and training fortrustees relevant to governance, fundraising and programs will be ongoing.Operations: Assessing the effectiveness of staff resources and facilities—focusingon space requirements, staff growth, technology, funding resources and strategiesfor success will ensure the operation of the most efficient Foundation possible.Entity Relationships: All <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> members are served by the continueddevelopment of a synergistic relationship among the <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> Sorority, <strong>Sigma</strong><strong>Kappa</strong> Foundation, and <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> National Housing Corporation. Ensuring thateach entity’s strategic plan is in alignment, enhancing communication, ongoingevaluation of volunteer roles and relationships are all critical for team buildingand collaboration. Further the continued development of the grant-makingprocess to maximize opportunities for the Foundation to fund educational andleadership programs is necessary.Supporting the Heart of <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong>Gregg, Helene Warner Hibbard Alpha Omega Irene Sheppard Wolnski Beta Delta Jane Reynolds Harris Beta Epsilon Paige Mooney Besson, Ione Davis Braswell, Mary Stamm Clay, Jan Day Gravel, AnnWright Hunt, Cathey O'Donnell Meagher, Suzanne Bush Rainer, Betsy McGuire Teuton Beta Zeta Magda Sejas Anderson, Lelia Goss Benedict, Alison Esser Cuomo, Jennifer Pedersen Daniels, Muriel NelsonHinkle, Mary Duro Marlin, Janet Hitchcock Murphy Beta Eta Karen L.

Gerontology Studies<strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> has been devoted to the study of aging and theneeds of the elderly for more than 50 years. Organizing a “SeniorProm” is one of many ways members are dedicating their timeand resources to caring for the elderly. In 1984, <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong>responded to an increasingly critical problem facing olderAmericans by adding an emphasis on Alzheimer's disease toits gerontology program. Students focused on undergraduateor graduate studies related to gerontology can apply for theGerontology Scholarship, which is funded by the contributions tothe <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> Foundation’s Alzheimer’s/Gerontology Fund.<strong>Report</strong>ed Volunteer HoursAlumnae Chapters 2,115Collegiate Chapters 9,819Inherit the EarthMembers participate in delivering meals to the elderly, planentertainment at care facilities, coordinate volunteer activitieswith senior centers, or work to benefit the environment through<strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong>’s “Inherit the Earth” project.

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> • June 1, <strong>2005</strong> - May <strong>31</strong>, <strong>2006</strong>Alzheimer’s disease affects more than 4.5 millionAmericans and costs our nation more than $100 billiona year. It is estimated that the number of people affectedwill more than triple by 2050.*Through funding of basic scientific research, <strong>Sigma</strong><strong>Kappa</strong> Foundation is dedicated to “Making Alzheimer’sa Distant Memory.” Since 2003, the Foundation hasbeen funding the research of Rina Yamin, Ph.D., andher colleagues at Boston University, to isolate enzymesthat degrade beta-amyloid, a protein fragment that isa key suspect in causing the breakdown in cell-to-cellcommunication and cell loss in Alzheimer’s disease.Through cultured cell studies, Yamin’s research teamfound that an enzyme called acyl peptide hydrolase(APH) may be capable of degrading beta-amyloid. <strong>The</strong>team is now experimenting to better understand how APHworks. It is hoped that new treatment strategies or evendisease-modifying drugs can be developed as a result ofthis and other research.To date, the Foundation has awarded more than $1million in grants to fund prevention, research andtreatment efforts.*(<strong>2006</strong>) Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association.<strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> FoundationAlzheimer's Disease ResearchCharitable SupportAlzheimer’s Association Grant$240,000/payableover four years +<strong>Report</strong>ed Volunteer HoursAlumnae Chapters 1,417Collegiate Chapters 37,712+ Final payment scheduled for <strong>2006</strong>-2007 fiscal year.Sweeney, Kirsten Bucher Szendrey, Kate Rhoades Trussell, Lavonne Anson Turner, Vada Benson Ulrech, Coletta Albrecht Wassuma, Mary Bickham Welch, Diane Foye Wiginton Beta Tau Rhoda Norris Adams-Reiss, MaryJane McPherson Anderson, Sandy Reed Bartling, Sharon McIlvain Brantley, Anne Burtchell Cowan, Sandra Bishenauer D'Alessandro, Mary Atkinson DeAngelis, Widelene Desarmes, Carole Dowe Duerk, Erin NewberryGalletta, Rebecca Hull, Carolyn Woodard Joiner, Irma Haderer Lauter, Cathy Skrzyniarz Lopez-Cooling, Noellyn Hill Meier, Lauren Block Misrahi, Marjorie Shaw Phillips, Cameron P.

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> • June 1, <strong>2005</strong> - May <strong>31</strong>, <strong>2006</strong>Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma ravaged the Gulf Coastin August <strong>2005</strong> and the desire to help those in need wasoverwhelming, but there was not yet a vehicle through whichto offer emergency disaster relief. On September 28, <strong>2005</strong>, the<strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> Foundation launched the Sister to Sister DisasterRelief Fund and sent an urgent request to <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong>members via e-mail to raise funds.Angela C. Guillory, past national president of <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong>Sorority and assistant dean of students and director of Greekaffairs at Louisiana State University, explained the need andBelinda Unbehagen, Epsilon Beta alumna who lost her home,told her story. <strong>The</strong> response was deeply touching—within afew weeks, more than $36,000 had been raised. Immediatelygrants to all qualified applicants were disbursed.Per IRS regulations, for six months following the U.S.Presidential declaration, the <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> Foundation was ableto accept applications; however, the gifts continued to arriveand still do today. Those funds are building a reserve thatwill ensure aid is available for alumnae and collegiate <strong>Sigma</strong><strong>Kappa</strong> members directly impacted by future occurrences ofU.S. presidential-declared major disasters or emergencies.<strong>The</strong> Board of Trustees has also allocated a pool of unrestrictedbequest funds to build the reserve.<strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> FoundationSister to Sister AssistanceCharitable SupportShort-Term Relief Grants $29,625(Average Grant: $2,279)Short-Term Relief Grant RecipientsAlumnae Grant Recipients: 5Collegiate Grant Recipients: 8Jerri Glasscock Karstetter, Ann Lawson Ludwick, <strong>The</strong>lma Dowdy Phillips, Jacqueline Steer Stanley, Nancy Hardy Vogt, Jane Lawrence Williamson, Gail Truitt Wilson, Charlotte Craig Wood Delta Omicron Lois Hedge Scott,Dorothy Carlson Swearingen Delta Pi Susan Hall Ayers, Kathy Gaudreau Bischoff, Virginia Nye Burtnett, Jennifer Eickhoff, Kaaren Eckhart Grossman, Susan Quell Hacker, Katherine Guarino Hay, Amy Hopwood, PatriciaHeller Sager, Angela Shaffer, Tanya Baker Smith, Gail Harper Welty Delta Rho Nancy Davis, Jeanne Hodgson Garfunkel, Ann Renalds Givens, Penelope Peabody Murray, Susan Phillips, Paula Harahan Polglase, LindaSmith Ruegg, Dianna Grant Screen, Karen Carter Whisman Delta <strong>Sigma</strong> Gail Shadick Alter, Judy Tuccy Basofin, Catherine Siele Berning, Nicole Bielarz, Nancy Lockard Browning, Carly Cleair, Lacey Grafton, PatriciaCooper Henderson, Kristine Foster Jansen, Rachel Sinn Krass, Brenda Prince Kruckmeyer, Susan Schonewise Leighty, Kathleen Lootens Loess, Rebecca Oneyear, Nicole Snode Sartori, Karyn Nishimura Sneath, NancyWarner Taylor, Sandra Ludlum Warner, Corindy Wolf, Cynthia Carr Zemitis Delta Tau Jennifer Wallace Barbaree, Sarah Grigsby Breshears, Sheryl Brown Ficke, Rasa Jucas Gillean Susan Day Mulhearn, Sherry BradshawReed, Amy Pickett Shineman, Tiffany Tyree Snodgrass, Dottie Wells Townsend, Blanche Jolly West Delta Upsilon Cynthia L.

Parents’ clubs around the country support <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong>collegiate chapters with volunteer efforts, fundraising and moral support.Parents are just plain amazing. When we called parents of collegiatemembers in spring <strong>2006</strong>, we didn’t even know their names. We asked for“the parents of ___” and the parents didn’t hang up. We told them aboutthe life-long benefits of being a <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> member, the educationalprograms that were being funded by the <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> Foundation and allthe reasons their daughter had made an excellent choice. <strong>The</strong> parentskept listening. So, we asked them for money.And, they gave! A lot! Together, more than 657 parents (and even somegrandparents) pledged more than $32,220 in honor of their daughters.Those making a gift of $132 or more, in celebration of <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong>’s132nd year, also got to give a special tote bag, available only through theParents’ Campaign, to their daughter. <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> Foundation is gratefulfor their overwhelming response. <strong>The</strong>ir names are listed on pages 55through 58 with their daughters.
