Philanthropy

Run For Reagan

Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity has adopted the Alzheimer's Association as an official TKE philanthropy, partnering with the Ronald and Nancy Reagan Research Institute that was established in 1995, one year after Frater Reagan announced to the world that he had Alzheimer's.

The Fraternity has committed to raising $240,000 for the Ronald and Nancy Reagan Research Institute. As of May 31, 2008, we have contributed $271,637.92 to the Institute. In order to raise the additional $-31,637.92 needed to reach our goal, TKE has developed a springtime philanthropy called the Run For Reagan.

The Run For Reagan is a 5-mile relay race that we are encouraging all our chapters and colonies to conduct during the months of April and May. The resources on this page will help you conduct a Run for Reagan on your campus.

TKE and Alzheimer's Association

At the 2001 Conclave in New Orleans, the Grand Chapter adopted the Alzheimer's Association as an official TKE philanthropy. The Alzheimer's Association is a national network of chapters committed to finding a cure and helping those affected by the disease. The Fraternity has partnered with the Ronald and Nancy Reagan Research Institute, which was established in 1995, one year after Frater Reagan announced to the world that he had Alzheimer's.
