ESA Presents Gift to Methodist Health System Foundation

The ESA Theta Pi Chapter of Texas recently presented a $14,000 gift to Methodist Health System Foundation. The gift will help the Women’s Imaging Center at Methodist Charlton Medical Center ($12,000) and the PSAP-Prostate Screening and Awareness Program ($2,000). The grants enable Methodist to provide routine mammograms to women would would be unable to pay to to financial limitations. The PSAP program at Methodist has tested more men for prostate cancer than any of hospital-based program. Epsilon Sigma Alpha has always tried to help the cancer services at Methodist. In turn Methodist is a sponsor for the ESA Cancer Awareness Race.

ESA Hope for Heroes

ESA members participated in the Tulsa Veterans Day Parade to show their support for Hope for Heroes: An ESA National Event. Members of the Tulsa Area Council walked next to this car decorated by members of ESA. The car was also featured at the St. Jude Give Thanks Walk in Tulsa. The members of ESA that participated said they had numerous opportunities to spread the good works of ESA.

The ESA members in Kansas also received a letter of appreciation from a Staff Sergeant in the US military. It reads:

I received several care packages over the past two weeks and enclosed was an informational flyer with this email, so I wanted to take a few minutes to respond & say thank you.

Karen Knorp-Brown from Wichita, Kansas was the addressee and I would like to write to you to acknowledge her hard work and service as well as personally thank her through your organization. The flyer also mentioned Kim Kummer as the Kansas State President, so thank you to her as well.

I read a little bit about your organization on your website & I also want to thank all of you for all of the hard work and service you provide for all of the causes and people you support.

Thank you!!!!
