The Zeta Kappa Chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma at Montclair State University will be holding our 1st annual large-scale philanthropy on November 14th, 2015 from 6pm to 9pm in order to fundraise for The Robbie Page Memorial Fund.
From the Tri Sigma National Website:
"Five year old Robbie Page, son of the fourth Tri Sigma National President Mary Hastings Holloway Page, Alpha and Omega chapters, often mentioned his wish to help children. He once said, "I want to have all my birthdays right now so I can grow up and help people".
In 1951, at age five, Robbie died of bulbar polio, a devastating disease with no cure at the time. To honor Robbie Tri Sigma members established the Robbie Page Memorial Fund (RPM) to fund polio research projects, including the Salk vaccine trials, and in 1954 the Robbie Page Memorial Fund became the official philanthropy of Tri Sigma.
When a cure was found for polio, the RPM Fund continued moving forward to fund a cutting-edge therapy called "therapeutic play." This treatment evolved to become one of the most important types of children's therapy to help children cope with the treatments and outcomes of their illnesses.
The Foundation helps hundreds of children annually through the RPM Fund, which supports Local and National RPM Grants, including training fellowships at Children's Medical Center Dallas and NC Children's Hospital-UNC Chapel Hill."
This will be a night of food, music, great company, and prizes to benefit terminally ill children and the integration of child play therapy programs into hospitals across the country.
Please come out and support our event and have a wonderful time with us!
