The Alpha Omega Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi uses the AppleJack Fun Run as their main fundraiser for the year. The sorority gives the money back to Nebraska City; in recent years, they have donated to purchase new equipment for Steinhart Park, Nebraska City’s EDGE Program, helped fund the One School, One Book literacy push, purchased a new lighted holiday banner to hang above 4th Corso on the west end of town, and have provided thousands of dollars in scholarship money to graduating seniors.
