Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has been Phi Mu’s national philanthropic partner since 1986. “To lend to those less fortunate a helping hand.” The first line of Phi Mu’s Creed has been a call to serve others since it was written more than 100 years ago. From our earliest days of supporting a health mobile that delivered health care to women and children in rural areas to supporting toy carts for children in hospitals to our current partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Phi Mu has long been committed to lending a helping hand to those in need.
We are proud to be the only sorority to partner with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and have an alliance with the National Women’s History Museum. We were also the first sorority to establish a National Philanthropy Day more than 20 years ago. Lending a helping hand is at the heart of who we are as Phi Mus.
At Phi Mu, we’re not just a sisterhood—we’re a force for good in our community. Our chapter at Jacksonville State University is proud to uphold our national partnership with Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals while also creating a meaningful impact right here in Alabama.Each year, we dedicate our time, energy, and resources to supporting their mission of providing lifesaving care for children and families in need. Whether we’re organizing fundraising events or volunteering directly, we aim to make every moment count for the kids.Our chapter hosts several signature events that bring the Jacksonville community together for a great cause such as Dance Marathon, a community-wide event featuring local vendors, food, and live entertainment, with proceeds benefiting CMN Hospitals, and Golf Tournament, an event that brings together students, alumni, local businesses, and community members for a day of fun and friendly competition all for a great cause!Phi Mu is the 2nd largest contributor to CMN Hospitals, we are proud to have raised over $63k at our Dance Marathon event on October 29, 2024. Each dollar we raise, every event we plan, and all the service hours we dedicate are a reflection of our commitment to “Love, Honor, Truth.” We’re grateful for the continued support of our JSU community, and together, we’ll keep making miracles happen!
