ALPHA PHI DELTA IMPACT REPORT

2015 - 2016

Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc. www.apd.org


Brothers,

Check out what your generosity has made possible! Thanks to you, our beloved fraternity is transforming young men into young adults. The following pages tell an incredible story of our young brothers on their passage to adulthood. Together, we are:

• Training leaders • Developing citizens • Impacting our communities • Engaging our host universities • Promoting scholarship • Celebrating our culture

First and foremost, our brothers graduate. Our 83% graduation rate among our brothers is unprecedented. The U.S. collegiate average for men is only 56%. These brothers’ lives are impacted forever. Our founding fathers have given us a precious gift and our oath compels us to pass it on. Your donations are doing exactly that. You have helped provide nearly $80,000 of support this past year for the important programs that have the capacity to reach, engage and empower every single brother.

• Leadership conferences • Career nights • Mentoring programs • Brotherhood For Life • Community service

• The Kleos • Sunshine Tour • Facebook/YouTube networks • LinkedIn career groups

This year, we are launching The Omega Society to recognize a brother’s final estate gift to the fraternity. To kick off the program, two of our brothers have named Alpha Phi Delta Foundation in their estate plans for $100,000 each. See the details on the next page of this report to make your pledge, or visit the Alpha Phi Delta website at www.apd.org/Omega-Society. Thank you for all that you have done to make the stories on the following pages a reality! Faciamus, Tony Carfang, Psi ‘69 Chairman, Alpha Phi Delta Foundation

The Omega Society

This gift will leave your lasting legacy, supporting our brothers in perpetuity. Leave your legacy

There will come a time in all our lives when we consider how we want to leave our legacy. Your life’s accomplishments are important to celebrate and honor. A charitable gift to Alpha Phi Delta Foundation is such a way to cement your legacy. Charitable gifts, including long-range estate and financial planning, can be a great way for you to provide support for Alpha Phi Delta. It is possible to “Leave a Legacy” while potentially minimizing taxes and settlement costs and conserving more of your estate for loved ones.

What are the easiest ways to leave my legacy?

There are many ways to make an estate bequest. Here are two very straightforward types of giving: • Bequests - A bequest is a gift made through a will or living trust. Bequests may be stated as a percentage of your estate, as the residual of your estate or a specific dollar amount. Here is some suggested language as a starting point for your attorney: °

Unrestricted – “I hereby bequeath $

°

Restricted – “I hereby bequeath $

to Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc., PO Box 23188, Pittsburgh, PA

to be used for purposes as deemed appropriate by the Foundation’s board of directors.”

to be used in the following manner

to Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc., PO Box 23188, Pittsburgh, PA

in accordance with the Foundation’s

overall objectives.”

°

Contingent – “Provided that my final estate valuation is greater than $

, I hereby bequeath $

to Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc., PO Box 23188, Pittsburgh, PA to be used for purposes as deemed appropriate by the Foundation’s board of directors.”

• Retirement Accounts or Insurance Policies - You can name the Foundation as beneficiary of a retirement account (401k or IRA) or a life insurance policy and secure important tax benefits. Just list the beneficiary as Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc, tax ID # 31-1005845.

What should I do first?

Please contact Bro. John Hadgkiss, Beta Rho ’66, johnhadgkiss@apdfoundation.org if you’d like to step through your options. Or simply inform John of the bequest once it’s made. All we need is your written verification. If you have already included Alpha Phi Delta Foundation in your estate plan, please let us know so that we can award you the Omega Society pin. Each of the deferred giving types is closely regulated by law and requires special arrangements and tax treatment. Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc. can work with you and your attorney to ensure your wishes are documented correctly. Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization

L e ade r s h i p There is perhaps no greater leadership experience on college campuses than that of a fraternity chapter officer. Imagine the experience our young men gain as they plan, organize, execute and discipline. Chapter membership is voluntary and no one really has to listen. That means that our leaders need to be so good that others willingly choose to follow. Think about that for a minute. These are skills that last a lifetime. As you can see from these photos, Alpha Phi Delta trains our young leaders in a number of ways. Over three hundred and fifty undergrads participated in regional leadership workshops this past year. Attending plenary sessions on our history, culture and mission as well as breakout sessions for each individual office, our brothers learn from each other as well as our volunteer alumni. Many of our alumni faculty at these events are themselves professional educators, counselors and trainers. We are indeed fortunate. Your generosity makes this all possible for our young brothers.

Co mmu n i t y S e r v i ce During any given week, you can count a half-dozen or more chapters leading a community service event at their school. National requires each chapter to complete and document at least one community service project each term. In reality, our brothers do much more. It is very inspiring the see the Facebook posts and photos of undergrads serving others. There is a sense of community and an unselfishness that binds our brotherhood. Take a couple minutes to browse these photos. You’ll see an incredible range of charities and community activity that our young brother impact. These photos are a very small sampling of the sharing spirit of our brothers.

Alpha Phi Delta is very proud of our brothers’ military service.

Over 1,300 brothers have served and 32 have given their lives in combat. Brothers have been engaged in every war since our founding. In fact, our founder Joseph Cangiamila died while deployed with the World War I forces of the British Empire. He was killed during a training mission in Great Britain. Each year, we honor our military brothers with a reception at the National Convention. We struck a military coin in their honor which is only presented in person at a fraternity function. In 2014, we established one of our fastest growing scholarships, the Alpha Phi Delta Military Scholarship. You too can join many other brothers who have contributed in the name of a father, grandfather or uncle who had served.

The Military Challenge coin is presented in person at Alpha Phi Delta events to brothers who have served in uniform. We are proud of all our military brothers and this is just one small way to say “Thank You.”

Alpha Phi Delta Veterans are honored during the Military Salute Reception at each year’s national convention. These are the 2015 honorees at the Gaithersburg convention along with guest speaker Col.

S c h o l ar s h i p

Over the past forty years, Alpha Phi Delta has awarded more than 600 scholarships to deserving students. Our scholars have an unprecedented 98.5% graduation rate, 40 points above the national collegiate average. In August of 2016, we awarded a record 51 scholarships selected from among a large number of highly qualified applicants. The tragedy is that we can’t do more. Many brothers endow a scholarship with an initial $10,000 contribution and add to the principal regularly. Twelve years ago, Tony Barbieri did that and also instructed his family members to send in donations each year in lieu of Father’s Day and birthday presents. Now, the principal balance of the scholarship endowed in his parents’ name is over $30,000. That’s a lot of socks, sweaters, handkerchiefs and neckties. Importantly, that’s also a huge boost to our young scholars. Over the recent past, Neil Anastasio, Theta Beta, Joe Caldarella, Beta Sigma, Jack Consiglio, Psi, Joe Creston, Psi, Carl Izzo, Psi, Chris Mancusi, Gamma Sigma, Tom Modica, Theta Beta, Raymo Santilli, Psi and others have endowed new Alpha Phi Delta Scholarships. Several brothers, family members and alumni clubs have established Scholarships to honor the memory of recently deceased brothers. In recent years scholarships have been set up or expanded to honor the memories of Leon Panella, Psi, Tony Sallo, Psi, Joe Randazzo, Eta, Dr. Albert Zanzuccki, Beta Lambda, Dr. Santo Barbarino, Beta Sigma and several others. Scholarships are awarded when a designated fund receives contributions of at least $10,000. The Scholarship Trustees are: Charles Fiore, Esq. (Chairman), Neil Anastasio (Co-chairman), Nicholas Franki (Co-chairman), Peter Gaudiuso (Treasurer), Anthony Barbieri, Mario Cardullo, Paul Fabrizio, John Hadgkiss, Raymo Santilli, Ronald Sme, and Anthony Thomas. On the following pages, see up close the heartfelt stories of how our scholarship program has impacted the lives of so many.

Where are they now? Mark Hughes, Beta Lambda ’78 “I can’t tell you how much that scholarship meant to me. It came at a time when I had no extra money. Despite the fact that I graduated #1 in my class at St. Francis University, I never received a nickel in scholarship money from the school. I will never forget that it was APD who gave me a nice reward for my hard work. To this day I remain grateful”. Mark is married for 29 years with 2 grown children. He is active coaching and as CYO director for his local parish. He remains very close to many of his Beta Lambda brothers.

Mark Palermo, Beta Rho ’98 “I received an APD scholarship twice and as a past winner, I vowed to continue to support the scholarship fund. Thank you Alpha Phi Delta.” Mark put his scholarships to good use as he is an Orthopedic Surgeon in Champaign, IL specializing in trauma. But his real passion is spending time with his wife Julie and two sons Paulie and Eddie any chance he gets – who can blame him!

Frank Perciavalle, Psi ’78 “We were a family of very modest means and it was a struggle for my Mom to put me through Duquesne. As an Italian immigrant, she very badly wanted me to be the first in our family to graduate from college. Receiving the APD scholarship was a blessing and reduced the burden that we took on to fund my education. APD helped me both with the scholarship and more importantly with the brotherhood and social experiences I was blessed to have in my days at Duquesne ”. Frank is currently the Director of Logistics for BASF in Houston. His wife Pam and their two children, Matt and Gina work and live in Ohio.

Nicole Torchia “The APD Foundation scholarship has eased the financial burden of school enough to allow me to pursue experiences like a medical Spanish immersion program in Spain that was instrumental in helping me get into one of the most competitive Physician’s Assistant programs in the country, Yale School of Medicine.” Nicole is a senior at Northeastern and is completing her second co-op as a medical assistant. She will graduate in May as valedictorian of her class with a 4.0 GPA and is accepted into the physician assistant graduate program at Yale.

Chuck Gruber, Beta Xi ‘78 “Winning this scholarship marked a turning point in my life, education and career. By applying myself scholastically and through extracurricular activities during my early college years I was recognized by Alpha Phi Delta and awarded this scholarship. I was honored as this was my first award. It allowed me to meet some of the extraordinary leaders of the Alpha Phi Delta organization at that time. Their support and mentorship during my remaining college years allowed me to prosper and launched me on a great life track. I encourage all

28

undergraduates to embrace and call upon your Alpha Phi Delta family to find opportunities to become the friend, partner and leader you want to become.’“ Chuck is currently the President/CEO of Safe Reflections Inc which converts 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material for the world’s leading manufacturers of uniforms, safety clothing, and athletic apparel. Chuck, his wife Lizzie and 13-year-old daughter Pia live in St. Paul. Whenever possible, they meet his sons Chuck, 31 and Dan, 27 in Colorado to ski and snowboard.

Where are they now? Andrew Cozzolino, Beta Beta ‘87 “I was fortunate to receive two scholarships from the APD Foundation. My family resources were limited, and I worked part time throughout my college years. These scholarships contributed to my tuition and text book expenses, and to my success as a student and a brother, and motivated me to become more involved as an undergraduate. I held several Beta Beta Chapter offices, was a National Officer (VP Undergrad Affairs) and was awarded the National Outstanding Undergraduate Award. My APD undergrad and alumni experiences greatly influenced my personal development, and eventually had a hand in my future professional development, for which I am grateful to this day.” He has worked in over 20 countries and lived in NY, Jakarta, Singapore, Bangkok, London, and currently in Hong Kong, where he oversees the non-US internal audit division for Alliance Bernstein.

Michael Raguso-Failla, Beta Sigma ‘88 “I remember feeling a great sense of pride, accomplishment, and gratitude when I was awarded my APD scholarship. While I have felt those things since my induction in 1988 just being a brother in our fraternity, my scholarship reinforced those feelings. It was an honor to be recognized by APD for my achievements at St. Francis College. My scholarship helped significantly with textbooks and other college expenses”. Mike graduated in 1996 from New York Medical College and is now a partner in a group practice in Family Medicine in southern New Jersey where he’s resided since 2001. He was blessed to meet his wife Jean during their undergraduate days at St. Francis College and they’ve been married almost twenty years with two teenage children, Michael and Jessica.

Benedict Tieniber, Epsilon Gamma ’11 “The scholarship fund for APD does amazing things funding college, funding books, letting brothers know you are behind them and finally, pushing us to be that much better. Thank you!” Benedict graduated from St. Joseph’s College in May, 2015 with a Doctorate in Education, Leadership Administration and Technology. He teaches business at a high risk school in the South Bronx (NYC). He recently made his first contribution to the APD foundation. “I am happy to finally be able to begin giving back to help make a difference in other brother’s lives.”

Natalie Reizine “Thank you once again for your generosity and support. You have believed in me since the beginning. From helping me to afford my summer college organic chemistry classes, to helping me pay for my medical school applications, to helping me purchase my first stethoscope, you have enabled me to reach my goals and have watched me grow over the years. I am truly grateful and cannot tell you how much your support has meant to me. I am now a resident physician in Internal Medicine at the University of Chicago, and while I am working hard I am happy and truly fulfilled; and I am so very excited for what lies ahead. Thank you for everything”.

Nick Marter, Epsilon Gamma ’11 “I’ve been fortunate enough to be selected as a scholarship recipient twice as an undergraduate student. It felt amazing to be recognized for my hard work and dedication to the fraternity, my college and my studies. I was always incredibly involved in APD as a past chapter President, and was equally involved as a student leader at St. Joseph’s College.

My involvement in APD at St. Joseph’s unlocked my true passion and career aspirations in the field of Higher Education. I am a current graduate student at Stony Brook University studying College Administration while also working at my Alma Mater, St. Joseph’s College as an Undergraduate Admissions Counselor. I serve as the advisor for my Epsilon Gamma chapter, and on a larger scale, I have the privilege of giving back in the form of being elected as Long Island District Governor in 2015”.

Ways to Give As a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation, the Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc. (TAX ID#31-1005845) provides you with numerous opportunities to positively impact both your current and future tax liabilities, as well as the future of Alpha Phi Delta. Gifts may be either unrestricted or restricted for a specific purpose. You may also indicate whether your gift is for immediate use or to establish a permanently endowed fund. Thank you for your consideration and support of this worthwhile endeavor.

Gifts of Cash Donors can easily make gifts to the Foundation via check, or credit card via PayPal thru the Foundation website (www.APD.org) or via mail to Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc., P.O. Box 23188, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

Gifts of Stock Some donors may find that they are able to enhance their giving capability by making a donation of appreciated securities. Donations of appreciated stock often provide significant tax advantages. The Foundation can help facilitate your stock donation.

Matching Gifts Many companies encourage charitable giving by matching employee contributions to public charities. Your generous support of the Foundation can go even further with a matching gift from your employer, and you, as the employee, receive credit for the gift.

Types of Gifts: • Unrestricted – These gifts allow the board to support the Foundation’s current and most pressing priorities. • Leadership – Gifts to this fund support our many undergraduate leadership programs. Many brothers have pledged $5,000 to this fund to endow a periodic leadership event in their name (or the name of an honoree). • Publications (Kleos) – These gifts support the Kleos and other publications. Many brothers have pledged $10,000 to this fund to sponsor one page each year in their name (or the name of an honoree). • Scholarship – This is the longest running Foundation program, with 51 endowed scholarships. Brothers can contribute directly to the fund in any amount, they can augment an existing fund honoring a brother or beginning at $10,000 they can endow an annual scholarship.

Honorary and Memorial Gifts For a unique and fitting tribute to a friend or loved one, consider a gift to the Foundation in honor or in memory. The Foundation staff will forward notes to the family or honoree as requested in your contribution. During this past year, brothers have established funds to honor recently deceased men like Leon Panella, Joe Randazzo and Dr. Albert Zanzuccki. We also have a Military Scholarship. Many brothers contribute to that fund in the name of their father or other friend/relative who has served.

The Omega Society – Planned Gifts This is your legacy, your final gift to Alpha Phi Delta. A bequest, paid-up life insurance policy, charitable gift annuity, charitable remainder trust, charitable lead trust, or naming the Alpha Phi Delta Foundation as a beneficiary of a 401K plan are just a few examples of planned gifts. Deferred or planned gifts enable you to help meet Alpha Phi Delta’s needs for the future and your personal financial needs today. In our own way, each of us has benefited from our membership in Alpha Phi Delta. Your investment in these efforts through financial gifts to the Alpha Phi Delta Foundation helps ensure that future generations also have the opportunity to benefit from the exceptional leadership training offered by Alpha Phi Delta Fraternity. Please send a check payable to Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc., P.O. Box 23188, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 For more information please contact John Hadgkiss, Beta Rho ’66 at 724-944-9222 or johnhadgkiss@apdfoundation.org. 38
