Philanthropy
Howdy! Welcome to the Pre-Med Society Philanthropy page where you can learn how to support and bring awareness to Alzheimer’s. Throughout the year, we hold events to bring awareness and raise money for the Alzheimer's Association, an organization with fundraising goals directed toward "a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia". In this school year of 2024-2025, we will be hosting safe and unique events not only to fundraise but also to give back to those affected within our Bryan/College Station community. More information on our fundraising events, including our "BTHO Alzheimer's 5k” that occurs in the spring semester will be made available at a later time. In the mean time, tune in, get excited about being a part of a great cause, and if you have any questions about our philanthropy or have any suggestions on how we can further support the Alzheimers Association, email Rafael Fortes at r02082003@tamu.edu.
Get Involved!
You not only have the opportunity to help as a member but you can also serve on our Philanthropy Committee​​. Each year, toward the beginning of the fall semester, our Philanthropy Chair opens up applications for the committee and chooses around 5 individuals who are dedicated to the cause. The committee will assist with all things philanthropy related, from profit shares, to advocacy, to the planning of our main philanthropy event- Race Against Alzheimer’s 5k- in the spring semester. This is a fantastic way to get to know your fellow society members, build your medical school application, and is a great transition into an officer position!
