Philanthropists

Philanthropists are the backbone of UGA HEROs! Their goal is to not only raise money, but make new friends and interact with all of our HERO children!

Sign up to be a UGA HEROs philanthropist in Fall 2009!

What is UGA HEROs?

We are an organization devoted to improving the quality of life for children affected and infected with HIV/AIDS in the State of Georgia. UGA HEROs rallies students across campus in a year-long fundraiser that culminates in a grand finale at the HERO Olympics--an event for these children and UGA students. UGA HEROs works closely with the UGA football team, Athletic Association, and both Head Football Coach Mark Richt and Georgia Legend Vince Dooley (who are both H.E.R.O. Board members) to help rally students and raise more money for children with HIV/AIDS in Georgia.

What is a philanthropist? What impact will I be making?

Philanthropists are the cornerstone of our organization. Each and every member of HERO is vital and you will be making a huge difference in our cause. You will be placed on a team with either your Greek organization, Residence Hall or fellow Upperclassmen. Together you will all raise money and make new friends from all over UGA campus! You will also have the opportunity to meet the HERO children and be a part of our major event in December, the HERO Olympics! As a philanthropist YOU will be helping improve the lives of children who need your help and your voice.

What are some of the important dates for the Fall 2009 semester?

Watch for our Greek Cookout on September 1st and our Residence Halls Cookout September 3rd. Our KICKOFF is September 9th then we'll be working all semester until December 6th - the HERO OLYMPICS!
