Who remembers the thrill of last year’s Fraternal1 races at Spring Symposium? The competition, the laughs, and—most importantly—the impact we made for Gift of Adoption Fund? Well, get ready for another can’t-miss opportunity to put fraternalism into action! This year, we’re teaming up with Blessings in a Backpack to fight childhood hunger in Cleveland. Our goal: Pack 500 bags of food for local kids AND raise at least $4,000 to support this incredible cause. While there won’t be remote-controlled car races this time, we’ve got new ways to connect, give back, and have fun—so don’t miss out! Get all the details and help us make an impact: https://lnkd.in/gRjhUS3T #LiveFraternally #BlessingsInABackpack

The Alliance Board of Directors kicked off 2025 with its first quarterly meeting in Chicago, Illinois. These gatherings are essential for assessing the health of both the fraternal sector and our trade association, while also identifying opportunities to strengthen and unify fraternals across the U.S. and Canada. Alliance CEO Allison Koppel and Managing Director Kendra Ansley valued the opportunity to connect, collaborate, and strategize with the Board as we continue working toward a stronger future for fraternals. #LiveFraternally

A heartfelt thank you to the Knights of Columbus and the many other fraternal benefit societies and members who have stepped up in the aftermath of the California wildfires. Your generosity and dedication to disaster relief exemplify the very best of our vision—supporting communities in times of need. Fraternal organizations have long played a crucial role in providing aid and relief when disaster strikes, and this is yet another inspiring example of that commitment in action. #LiveFraternally
