HONOR ROLL OF DONORS

The Phi Kappa Tau Foundation has had a historic year, and we cannot wait to share all the success you’ve helped make possible! From exponential growth in our dollars raised and donors; to historic drives like our Founders Day of Giving campaign, which nearly tripled the previous year's total; to new leadership that promises to take Foundation to heights unknown. This past year is just the beginning of our bright new future.

YOUR BRIGHT FUTURE

D

ear Phi Kappa Tau Stakeholders, I am a few months into my tenure as Executive Director of your Foundation for Phi Kappa Tau. I say “your” Foundation because that is what it is and what the foundation team will strive to make it.

Using the Foundation as an instrument to engage in philanthropy collectively, we individually and as a group can make an impact on our Fraternity and our nation.

The United States is the most philanthropic country in the world, and we have a role to play!

We have just completed another banner year, setting a record for Founders Day of Giving and gaining new engaged donors every day. Whether you choose to give to the Brotherhood Fund or something more specific and chapter-related, rest assured, it will make a difference. We cannot thank each of you enough for your growing interest and participation.

I must take the time again to send a special thank you to Jim Bacon, Michigan Tech ’59, who added to his endowed scholarship fund, closing in on the million-dollar goal he has set for himself!

The Boles Society continues to grow, representing the Foundation’s most intimate supporting family. Our team has BIG plans for the Boles Society this coming fiscal year, and we believe our aspirational goals will be achieved, engaging more Phi Taus than ever.

This year’s annual campaign is already underway, and the focus will be on Chapter Giving and the Boles Society. Please take the time to look at what we have going on, why we do what we do, and the impact it will make.

Most importantly, thank you to each donor listed in these pages. We hope the engagement brings you joy and fulfillment and the desire to continue your philanthropic relationship with the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation.

Kind regards,

Craig Rogers Executive Director

FOR THE LOVE OF BROTHERHOOD

BY DALTON LEE, BALDWIN WALLACE ’11

T

he love and dedication Ray Cox, PE, North Carolina State ’89, has for Phi Kappa Tau is prevalent to all those who surround him. Following the completion of his undergraduate degree, Cox served as a Domain Director and a National Councilor.

It was following these positions that he took some time away to focus on his family and career. As his career began to flourish, the Cox family kept their altruistic spirit alive— volunteering for and donating to organizations for which they had a passion. During this time, Cox fell into a pattern of giving to the Foundation only after all other charitable obligations were fulfilled. He described it as “giving what was left over,” and it wasn’t until he was reengaged about becoming a Foundation Trustee that his mindset began to shift.

Cut to April of 2023, at the Foundation Board meeting in Chicago. Cox became increasingly confident in the direction the

Foundation was heading, and the productivity, comradery, and brotherhood of the weekend began to inspire a lot of emotion in him. No longer did he want to just give what was left over, but it became his goal to ensure that more young men around the country could experience something that had made such a difference in his own life. It was on the final day of this meeting that Cox pledged an astounding $100,000 gift to the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation. This pledge is a moving testament to the enduring spirit of brotherhood—coming from a brother who needed just a small push to reinvigorate the spark of eternal brotherhood.

A gift of this magnitude doesn’t come from just one person, so the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation is overjoyed to thank the whole Cox family; including Ray and his wife of 25 years, Heidi, and their children, Miller and Marlee.

Miller Cox, South Carolina ’21, has kept the Phi Tau spirit alive for another generation, and currently acts as the president of the Zeta Xi chapter.
