Convention Community Service Partner
Alpha Kappa Psi is honored to join forces with Jar of heARTS as our Miami Convention community service partner. Jar of heARTS is a Miami-based organization whose mission is to help children overcome trauma through creative art expression and enhance the patient and family hospital experience.
Their signature project is the heart bag project. Each bag includes art materials and other comfort items to help ease the children’s chemo treatment or hospital stay. We will incorporate Jar of heARTS into the convention by immediately beginning to collect the items needed for the heart bags. During Convention we will paint the canvas bags with hearts on Wednesday at registration/check-in, on Thursday we will fill the painted heart bags with our donations and on Saturday a representative from Jar of heARTS will attend the luncheon to accept our donations.
How can you donate? Thanks for asking! There are several options either monetary or making purchases of needed items.
-
- All fraternity event registrations have the option to make a monetary donation for Jar of heARTS.
- MyAKPsi community > Events > Convention you will find the opportunity to make a monetary donation
- We have created an Amazon Wish list. The heart bags will be distributed at hospitals to immune-compromised children. In consideration of this, the list of items is very specific and has been approved for their non-toxic nature.
As a convention experience, Convention attendees will have the opportunity to decorate one of the heart bags as well as volunteer time to stuff the decorated bags.
