Posted by Amy Newman on November 28, 2023 • Blog

Commemorating Founders’ Day

As the holiday season approaches, we reflect on the values that bind us together as a community of leaders. Omicron Delta Kappa’s Founders’ Day, on December 3rd, is not just a date on the calendar; it’s a celebration of our shared commitment to leadership, collaboration, and service.

We invite you to join us in commemorating Founders’ Day by making a meaningful donation to O∆K. Your support will directly contribute to the continued legacy of our 15 visionary founders who, over 109 years ago, laid the groundwork for a society dedicated to identifying, honoring, and supporting leaders across diverse communities.

Why Give to O∆K on Founders’ Day?

Empowering Future Leaders: Your contribution will fund initiatives that empower the leaders of tomorrow through mentoring programs, leadership development seminars, and community engagement projects.

Preserving Timeless Values: Your philanthropy helps to preserve and advance the timeless values that define O∆K: collaboration, inclusivity, integrity, scholarship, and service.

Strengthening O∆K Community: By giving, you become an integral part of our mission to foster a strong, interconnected community of leaders who continue to build better than they know.

Make a gift to commemorate Founders’ Day by visiting our website here to make a secure online donation. Your generosity will directly impact the initiatives and programs that make O∆K a driving force for positive change. We thank you for your support.

Thank you for being a crucial part of the O∆K community. Together, let’s make this Founders’ Day a celebration to remember!
