Atlanta Entrepreneur Bequeaths $50,000 to AHEPA
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Mr. Emmanuel G. Pappas, a 37-year member of AHEPA from Atlanta, who passed away in March 2008, bequeathed $50,000 to AHEPA, announced Supreme President Ike Gulas.

"We are touched that Brother Pappas remembered the Order to which he gave selflessly over the many years," said Gulas. "His generosity will augment our various programs that help us fulfill our mission. We are deeply grateful and I know he will be sorely missed. May his memory be eternal."

Pappas, 60, dedicated his life to helping others in need both as an entrepreneur and philanthropist. In 1977, he founded Pappas Contracting, Inc., a construction consulting firm specializing in commercial construction and insurance industries with an emphasis on natural disaster risk and damage assessment. His company, now known as EGP and Associates, Inc. has become a nationwide industry leader.

Brother Pappas was a member of Mother Lodge Chapter No. 1, Atlanta.
