Nominated for Student Organization of the year, four years in a row, Animal Care for a Cause is established for the expressed purpose of becoming an advocate for abandoned and neglected animals. As mostly all humane societies and rescue organizations are non-profit organizations, our plan is to hold fundraisers to raise money which will be used to donate funds and products to local humane societies and rescue organizations. These societies are independent organizations that try to provide veterinary care, fostering, adoption, and so much more to the best of their ability but rely on the support and donations of their community. Our goal is not only to donate to these organizations, but to also actively volunteer our time and services to them. It is our plan to serve as a voice for those who don't have one while raising awareness against the broad spectrum of animal cruelty and attracting attention to the services that were built to benefit animals throughout a community.

Brain Exercise Initiative is a research-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit service organization that utilizes simple math, writing, and reading-aloud exercises as an intervention to improve cognitive function in assisted-living facility residents with Alzheimer's Disease. Pioneered by neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, it has been found that doing these simple brain exercises for just 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, caused marked improvements for those with Alzheimer's Disease. The gentle mental activities Dr. Kawashima used activated the prefrontal cortex, the control center for memory, cognition, and planning.

Drawing from this groundbreaking research, Brain Exercise Initiative at LSU strives to create an intergenerational service opportunity in which LSU students hold brain exercise programs at retirement homes in the Baton Rouge community. We use daily packets which include simple math, writing, and "read-alouds" that are completed by each elder with the guidance of LSU student volunteers. Not only does Brain Exercise Initiative at LSU hope to improve the memory of those suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia but we also create an invaluable, all-too-rare avenue for intergenerational service, discussion, and collaboration. Volunteer with us to help more seniors remember and thrive!

Mission
This is a student-led mental health initiative aimed to improve the general mental wellness of the student body and allow our students to be a voice for how we as a university can promote student wellness and mental health services. The Wellness Project was developed for three primary purposes:

1. Peer to Peer engagement
a. Peer-to-peer connection is important. Discussing life dilemmas with someone of your age demographic breaks down many barriers and adds a level of comfortability.
b. Although LSU already provides many resources on campus relating to mental health, our organization trains students who are interested in helping other undergraduate students combat stress through professional programs such as QPR, CPE, and SPR.
c. Students can then decide if they want to:
i. Be official wellness peer educators who are promoted through our club and social media pages. These students can have a specific niche in which they provide specified care or choose to provide general care as verified by our training programs.
ii. Students can simply use the training they learn to help other individuals in their daily lives.

2. Education and connection
a. We gather information about the multitude of resources on campus and continually update our sources about what is available on campus. Students who need help can then connect with our program, and we will direct them to the resources they might need.
b. We also partner with other organizations, promote their services, and engage in events together.

3. Immediate accessibility
a. It often takes hours or even weeks for students to get in contact with a professional to have a short conversation debriefing the struggles they are facing. The wait time can deter students from seeking help.
b. Individuals going through a difficult time might not have the energy or time to navigate through everything available on campus. We provide trained and educated students who are willing to guide you along every step of your mental health journey. This organization will provide immediate support for students and conversations will be tailored to each students’ specific needs.

The Louisiana State University Service-Dog Training and Education Program, known as STEP@LSU for short, is a non-profit and service organization that focuses on raising funds, educating the LSU and Baton Rouge community, and training service dogs for people with disabilities. We train our future service dogs in conjunction with Canine Companions®, which is also a non-profit organization. Their provided Labrador retrievers, Golden retrievers, and Labrador/Golden crosses represent both Canine Companions® and LSU, wearing yellow and blue around our LSU campus and Baton Rouge community. It is of the highest importance that we hold our puppies and their raisers to high standards, always making sure our future service dogs are loved, well cared for, and on their best behavior.

This Registered Student Organization will allow students the opportunity to raise and train service dogs for the organization Canine Companions®, as well as fundraise for the club, educate our community, and establish a community on campus and in Baton Rouge. Canine Companions® is a national organization based in Santa Rosa, CA, which places trained canines in a variety of different capacities. Canine Companions® is leading the service dog industry so their clients and their dogs can live with greater independence. The organization provides service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice, and educational settings. Their dogs may be placed as service dogs for adults and children with disabilities, hearing dogs for adults who are deaf or hard of hearing, or facility dogs that serve at different types of institutions.

Canine Companions® breed their puppies at their respective headquarters and leave the puppies to a "Breeder Caretaker", who takes care of the puppies until they are sent to their raisers. At eight weeks old, the puppies are sent to puppy raisers across America, and the raising process begins. Sixteen to eighteen months later, after socializing the puppies in all environments and teaching them over 30 commands, raisers travel to their local headquarters to turn their dogs back over to Canine Companions®. Their headquarters are located in Irving, TX and Orlando, FL. After the matriculation ceremony (when the dogs are officially turned in for professional training), the dogs spend six to nine months with professional trainers, learning advanced commands such as turning on light switches and opening doors, until they are deemed ready to graduate. They are then taken to Team Training, in which human graduates in need of a service dog interact with several different dogs and are specifically matched with the dog that fits their needs best.

Membership Benefits
The support you will find in your fellow students, the ability to fundraise to support your puppy raisers and club projects, bringing the calming presence of a Canine Companions puppy to your campus, being part of a community that serves people with disabilities from all backgrounds, building life-long relationships both within your club and within Canine Companions.

Here at LSU, we have incorporated music into the lives of others in the community since 1926 through our events, service, and philanthropic efforts. We dedicate our time and service by helping in any way we can to the College of Music and Dramatic Arts. Some of these events include volunteering at Stately Oaks, National Audition Day, Double Reed Day, Bass-Fest and other festivals, nursing home visits, and practice room cleanings. 
We also dedicate a large portion of our time to fundraisers such as Penny Wars, which is a heated financial competition between sections of Tiger Band and even the staff participates! Additionally, we organize rose sales before concerts and operas and sell concessions at basketball and baseball games and gymnastic meets. 
However, one of Sigma Alpha Iota's main purposes as a fraternity is philanthropy. In the past, we have donated the money from our fundraisers to the Sunshine Project, Kid's Orchestra, Undergraduate Theatre Alliance, and local band programs such as those affected by Hurricane Harvey and the flood of 2016, as well as other programs in need of financial help. Recently, we established a spring semester scholarship to support the financial needs of outstanding women in the LSU School of Music.
