Greek Week 2012
Our Charities Each year, Greek Week is fortunate to work with seven incredible organizations, and this year is no different. We are pleased to donate time and funds to the following charities, from local Ann Arbor Associations to nationwide organizations. These groups help a wide range of people in a variety of efforts. The official Greek Week 2012 charities are…
Scott L. King | Serving Aces For Sarcoma
Scott L. King was a husband of twenty-two years and a father of three when he was diagnosed with Sarcoma, a term used to describe a family of cancers that arise in the body’s connective tissues. With a feeling of helplessness, the King family has started this foundation with the intentions of raising awareness and hope for a cure for similar victims of this same disease and accomplishing this hope through the ideals, experiences, and beliefs of their loving husband and father. Their Serving Aces For Sarcoma Tennis Event, which brings awareness to the community through Scott’s passion for tennis, along with other fundraising events has made strides in supporting the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, which provides valuable research and experiments in the study of Sarcoma.

Ele’s Place
Ele’s Place is a nonprofit, community-based organization dedicated to creating awareness of and support for grieving children and their families. Through peer support group programs, Ele’s Place helps children to cope with the death or life-threatening illness of a parent, sibling or other close family member or friend. Before coming to Ele’s Place, many grieving children feel alone and keep their feelings inside, not wanting to burden their parents or other family members. Often, friends don’t seem to understand if they haven’t had a similar experience. But each week at Ele’s Place, hundreds of grieving children find a warm and welcoming place to meet new friends who really understand how they feel. Some children learn how to cope with a family member’s illness, while others begin to heal after the death of a loved one. Ele’s place is the only center in Ann Arbor devoted entirely to serving the needs of grieving children. For more information visit: www.elesplace.org
