What is Push America?
Push America is the national philanthropy of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. Since 1977, Push America has been promoting awareness and a greater understanding of people with disabilities while providing leadership, service, and educational opportunities to the members of Pi Kappa Phi. Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity remains the only national college fraternity to create and maintain its own national philanthropy.
What is Build America?
Build America is a six-week program during the summer where members of Pi Kappa Phi will construct accessible amenities at six camps that serve people with disabilities across the country. Team members also have the opportunity for personal interaction with the campers who will benefit from their hard work.
What is the Journey of Hope?
Each summer, 90 members of Pi Kappa Phi from across the United States cycle from San Francisco, CA, to Washington D.C. participating in activities and events to promote a greater understanding of people with disabilities. Though team member fund raising and corporate sponsorships, the event raises more than $400,000. Beginning in 2005, Push America will implement a third route of the Journey of Hope. This route will begin in Florence, OR and end in Washington D.C., retracting the steps of Bruce Rogers, the Journey of Hope's founder.
