has financed rehabilitation programs for seriously ill children, provided funds for equippinf play rooms, libraries, conference
rooms, lounges, out-patient areas, burn units, and nursing intensive care units. Scholarship grants have also been established
for graduate students in Play Therapy. Locally, specific projects are adopted, depending on the needs and facilities of each
community giving Tri Sigmas an opportunity to help others.
Our Philanthropy
The
Robbie Page Memorial was established in 1954 when the son of a National
President died. Tri Sigma was the first organization to develop and
support play therapy for hospitalized children. Money obtained to support
Tri Sigma play therapy projects solely come from donations from Tri Sigma
collegiate and alumnae chapters and memorials made by chapters and
individuals.
