Gerald & Sheldon Pollack Award Winners

The Gerald and Sheldon Pollack Award was established in December 1979, with a gift to Phi Mu Foundation from Gerald and Sheldon Pollack of the J.O. Pollack Company. The award is presented each biennium during Phi Mu National Convention to collegiate members who excel in social service leadership. Women are nominated for this award and receive $1,000 for first place and $500 for second place.

Neely served as Philanthropy Chair and organized her chapter’s first-ever trip to their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, and also values the importance of fundraising for Phi Mu Foundation. Having a fellow chapter member who directly benefited from a member assistance grant from Phi Mu Foundation just a year ago, she has encouraged her sisters to remember that when they raise money for M3 and Phi Mu Foundation, it’s helping women they know and love continue their Phi Mu journey.
