Tri Sigma is a transformative and inclusive space where women build lifelong friendships, learn to navigate and excel in today’s ever-changing landscape, and inspire meaningful change in the world.

The words “To receive much, you must give much” hold a special place in the hearts of our members. Tri Sigma’s vision empowers women to change the world. Through thoughtful and intentional personal, professional, and leadership development, we strive for our members to be values-driven, resilient, and inspired leaders who reach their potential and understand the critical importance of giving back. Since 1951, Tri Sigma has dedicated itself to serving children’s health initiatives. This legacy began with funding polio research through our first national philanthropic partner, the Robbie Page Memorial Fund. After polio was eradicated, that mission shifted toward the creation and growth of the Tri Sigma Foundation which funds emotional support resources for hospitalized children known as “play therapy.” This cutting-edge treatment uses music, art, animals, games and other forms of play to help children cope with difficult emotions, better understand their illnesses and cope with the treatments they must undergo. On top of our own philanthropy we also partner and work closely with the March of Dimes Foundation to fight for the health of all moms and babies! Our national philanthropic slogan is Sigma Serves Children, and we continue to live by that slogan and find ways to serve the children in our local community, including donating to our local women’s shelter, educating the community on play therapy, and raising money through events.
