Social Impact

At SDSU AMA, we believe marketing is about more than business — it’s about making a positive impact. Our members regularly volunteer with organizations that uplift the San Diego community, including helping sort and organize donations for Sharia’s Closet, supporting the Pacific Beach Run Club, and leading clothing drives for those in need.

We also participate in dog-walking events and collaborate with other student organizations on campus to strengthen connections and service across SDSU. Beyond volunteering, we partner with local and national businesses, such as Chipotle, Handel’s Ice Cream, Shake Smart, and other small, growing brands, to host fundraisers that benefit both our chapter and the broader community.

To build connection within our fAMAly, we host monthly social events such as pumpkin-painting nights, bonfires, and group hikes, giving members a chance to unwind, celebrate, and grow together outside the classroom.
