Tri Sigma's Fall Philanthropy Event
The Zeta Kappa Chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma at Montclair State University will be holding their 2nd annual large-scale philanthropy event on November 12th, 2016 at Queen of Peace High School in North Arlington from 6-9pm in order to raise money for the Robbie Page Memorial Fund and March of Dimes Foundation.
From the Tri Sigma National website:
Robbie Page Memorial Foundation
"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 childrens 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 Childrens Medical Center Dallas and NC Childrens Hospital-UNC Chapel Hill."
March of Dimes
"Each year March of Dimes benefits more than 4 million babies. Among those impacted by March of Dimes, we find Tri Sigma mothers, daughters and their families. As Tri Sigma begins a partnership with March of Dimes, we can learn about the mission and impact we hope to make through our philanthropic initiatives."
This will be a night of food, music, great company, and prizes to benefit terminally ill children, the integration of child play therapy programs into hospitals across the country, and our partnership with March of Dimes.
Please come out and support our event and have a wonderful time with us!
