On the third Sunday of May each year, all AHEPA chapters celebrate “AHEPA Day” to honor the organization's philanthropic, educational, and civic contributions, as well as its longstanding support for the Greek Orthodox Church and Hellenic values.
During the church service on May 17, 2026, at Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, a memorial service was conducted to commemorate the memory of our departed AHEPA brothers over the past 101 years in the Greek community of Reading.
An AHEPA Day publication was distributed to all parishioners listing the departed Brothers over the past 101 years.
Following the church service, AHEPA recognized four outstanding AHEPA scholarship award recipients with $1,000 scholarships each. The 2026 recipients are Luke Elliker, Ava Futrick, DaMarcus Peoples, and Katherine Wadsworth. Each of these talented youth has a very promising future exhibited by their outstanding academic achievement, leadership qualities, and active involvement in church, school and community activities.
After the scholarship presentation, the AHEPA co-hosted a luncheon for the church community as a thank you for the continued support of our service organization.
