• Fundraising:   In our history we have raised thousands of dollars for PUSH America, averaging an annual amount between $2000 and $2500.   We do this through two annual functions, one in each semester.   The first of the two is Toll Road, where we travel to Wichita, Kansas, and stand on street corners collecting money and handing out fliers to vehicles.   The second event is known as PUSH Week, a new comer this year to our fundraising calendar.   This event includes our annual Pole-sit and Tickets For Tuition, along with an empathy dinner and other events.   Through these projects we raise money to provide PUSH America with the means to help people with disabilities throughout the region.

• Volunteerism:   PUSH America operates numerous national projects during which Pi Kapps from all across the nation come together and work on camps, parks, and other public facilities all to make them better for people with disabilities.   Such events include Give-A-Push Weekend, PUSH Camp, Journey of Hope, Gear Up Florida, AccessABILITY, Build America, and others.   Our own chapter has had numerous brother attend these events, and 11 have even ridden across the country in the Journey of Hope which is a bicycle ride from the west coast, ending up in Washington DC on the steps of the Capital.   We also have a local partnership with the Kansas Jaycees Cerebral Palsy Ranch located in El Dorado, Kansas.   We have held our Fall Formal at this camp, and travel there annually to help maintain the camp, and provide work to ease the burden that is placed on the camp itself.   We are proud of our affiliation with this camp, and hope that it goes long into the future.

• Awareness:   This is perhaps one of the most important aspects of PUSH America.   You could raise all the money in the world, or build all the ramps, but if you don't make the public aware of what they can do, or that people with disbalities are no different than you or I, we accomplish nothing.   We work just as hard at our fundraising events and our volunteer projects to make sure that we get our message out to the public through fliers, newspapers, or even word of mouth.

Through these three pillars Pi Kappa Phi works hard to help make the day to day life easier and more comfortable for people with disabilities all across the country.
