AEPhi's national philanthropies
Sharsheret, Hebrew for “chain”, is a national organization that improves the lives of Jewish women and families living with or at increased genetic risk for breast or ovarian cancer through personalized support and saves lives through educational outreach. They help those who are facing a breast cancer or ovarian cancer diagnosis with one-on-one support as well as a peer support network.
The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation seeks to prevent pediatric HIV infection and to eradicate pediatric AIDS through research, advocacy, and prevention and treatment programs. The Foundation was founded in 1988 by AEPhi Alumna Elizabeth Meyer Glaser shortly after discovering that she, along with her two children, were infected with HIV as a result of a blood transfusion.
