March of Dimes

Our mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. We carry out this mission through research, community services, education and advocacy to save babies lives. March of Dimes researchers, volunteers, educators, outreach workers and advocates work together to give all babies a fighting chance against the threats to their health: pre-maturity, birth defects, and  low birth weight.

Stand Up For Kids

The mission of Stand Up For Kids is to help homeless and street kids. Volunteers mobilize themselves and take to the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve their lives. The mission focus goes beyond street outreach and extends to deterrence and resource programs that we provide in schools and via the internet. But all facets of our mission are guided by the mandate that our volunteers shall tell kids they care about them and then, at every point, prove it.

During the Tau Kappa Phi, Inc 2nd Biennial Conclave Conference held in Houston, TX July 23-27, 2008, Alpha Psi Kappa Fraternity, Inc donated funds to the Houston Chapter of Stand Up For Kids. In addition to a monetary donation, the members collected and donated over 600 toothbrushes, 50 tubes of toothpaste, 70 bars of soap, 100 travel size containers of shampoo, and 200 razors to assist with the Chapter's outreach mission.
