Why I give to SOPHE
| “To give to an organization is not only to give financially to support important initiatives but also to give of your time and talents to the organization’s causes that you support. SOPHE has provided me with opportunities to support students being trained as the next generation of health education specialists, opportunities to support my colleagues doing amazing work to advance our profession, and opportunities to support vital advocacy work for improvements in the communities in which we serve. In order to see sustainable advancements and positive changes, we, as SOPHE members, need to support our organization. SOPHE strives to promote health equity, healthy behaviors, healthy communities, and environments, but the work cannot be done without members’ help. Therefore, I urge you to take a few minutes to research the various funds – 21st Century Scholarships, SOPHE’s Legacy Circle, SOPHE’s Advocacy Initiative, and SOPHE’s Heritage Fund – and SOPHE initiatives and join the many other donors and supporters to help us advance SOPHE’s work in health education and promotion.” |
