Service is more
than something we do.
It is a reflection of who we are.
Through fundraising and acts of service, our brothers make a real difference from expanding lifesaving donor registries to helping children and families through healthcare networks and ensuring no child sleeps without a bed.

Find cures, save lives
Join NMDP to help
save lives
Every few minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. It could be anyone, a friend, a brother, or someone in your family. Becoming a donor is a simple way to make a real difference. You could be someone’s cure.
Young, healthy men often have the best outcomes for patients, which puts SAE members in a unique position to help. Since launching our national partnership with NMDP in 2021, SAE has added more than 26,000 people to the registry, with over 95 going on to donate lifesaving stem cells.
Fundraise for Men’s Health
Lead the way with Movember
Movember focuses on three key areas of men’s health: mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. These issues hit close to home. Three out of four suicides are men, one in nine men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men.
Through our partnership with Movember, SAE chapters raise awareness and funds to support education and research. Together, we can make a difference to all brothers, our campus communities, and beyond.
Building Beds for our Communities
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Sleep in Heavenly Peace gives brothers a hands-on way to make a real impact right in their own community. From building to delivering beds, you get to see the difference firsthand, and nothing compares to the excitement on a child’s face when they receive their very own bed.
Every bed stays local, making the impact immediate and meaningful. By supporting children in need, brothers are helping strengthen lives, families, and the communities around them.
Helping Children in Need
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals supports the health of 10 million kids each year, providing critical care for children and families when they need it most. Because 100% of donations stay local, SAE chapters can see the direct impact they’re making in their own communities. Our partnership also helps expand CMN Hospitals’ reach and visibility, allowing them to serve even more children in need.
Since 2001, SAE has contributed more than $1.6 million to support kids and families during some of their most challenging moments, standing beside them when it matters most.
