Anyone and everyone can have a profound impact on people with disabilities in their own communities and nationwide, both Pi Kappa Phi members and nonmembers alike. All it takes is that first step of getting involved. Maybe you’re not ready to run a marathon, but what if you could gather a group of friends to run the Cooper River Bridge Run as part of Push America Challenge?

If you are a member of Pi Kappa Phi, now is the time to get involved and dedicate your time to serving people with disabilities. Your chapter can find a local organization with whom to partner on a regular basis. Many organizations hold local events that need extra hands, or other programs that can foster relationships between members and people with disabilities. On a more individual level, have you ever considered a summer event? Journey of Hope, Gear Up Florida and Build America are events that will impact your life and the lives of others for years to come.

Even if you aren’t a member of Pi Kappa Phi, you can still have a hand in changing the lives of people with disabilities. Chances are, between Build America, Gear Up Florida and Journey of Hope, one of Push America’s team events stops within a reasonable distance of where you live. Hosting a team for a meal can be the difference in a team member’s summer, especially after long days on the road away from home.

Whatever you choose, it is Push America’s hope that you take that next step to benefit people of all abilities. If you are looking for opportunities or organizations that serve people with disabilities in your immediate area, please contact the Push America office.
