Great news! The Penn State Alumni Association has awarded the Triangle Chapter the 2020 Outstanding Service Project Award for its Annual Food Drive! This award recognizes the outstanding efforts of the Association's affiliate groups for giving back to their communities through local or national service projects.
This is the second time in the last four years that the Triangle Chapter has been recognized by the Penn State Alumni Association for this prestigious award. Only one or two alumni chapters or alumni groups win this award every year, so it's remarkable (and rather unprecedented) that we'd be selected again so quickly. It is a reflection on how remarkable this Chapter is, and what an unprecedented job we've done with the Food Drive.
Our Annual Food Drive began in 2013, when we raised about 600 pounds of food for Urban Ministries of Wake County, as we competed against the University of Michigan alumni chapter here in the Triangle. The following year, we doubled our donation to about 1200 pounds. The following two years, we raised over 2000 pounds yearly, making us members of Urban Ministries' "One Ton Club" for the size of our donations. In 2017, the Penn State Alumni Association awarded the Triangle Chapter the Outstanding Service Award based on these philanthropic efforts. This was the first time in the thirty plus year history of the Triangle Chapter that we received national recognition from the Alumni Association.
Not to rest on our laurels, that year, our donations exploded as we raised 7,400 pounds that football season! Recognizing the power we had to make such a difference on our community, our Chapter members raised their game even further, donating 10,200 pounds of food during the 2018 football season, and this year, we continued our streak of beating the prior year's record by donating 10,700 pounds of food! These are remarkable levels of donations!
Of all the things we do as a Chapter, this is the project we are most proud of, and really encapsulates who we are as Penn Staters - fellowship, philanthropy, and support. This award belongs to all of our generous Chapter members who donate so graciously throughout the football season.
Regardless of how our football season pans out this year, we have plans to continue this effort in 2020, especially since the needs of the food banks may be even more acutely felt now during these unprecedented times. We know we can count on the Triangle Chapter again!
WE ARE!!!
The Triangle Chapter is proud to announce that our Chapter has been recognized for the sixth consecutive year as a 2020-2021 Elm Level Group of Distinction by the Penn State Alumni Association!
