March of Dimes CEO Cindy Rahman (center) with leaders of March of Dimes service partner organizations in Washington, D.C. National Vice President Crystal Jones (center right) represented Tri Sigma. Tri Sigma National Sorority has been named the 2024 Research Partner of the Year by March of Dimes, the leading organization fighting for the health of all moms and babies. This prestigious recognition honors Tri Sigma's outstanding dedication to supporting life-saving research that advances maternal and infant health outcomes. “March of Dimes is proud to be a research-focused organization, funding millions of dollars of original scientific research each year, and it is with immense gratitude that we recognize our National Service Partner, Tri Sigma, as our research partner of the year,” said March of Dimes Community Mobilization Director Michaela Penix. Since 2016, Tri Sigma has partnered with March of Dimes with a shared vision to serve children. Member participation in the March for Babies, advocacy work, and donations made through the Tri Sigma Foundation have helped to further life-saving research that will ensure healthy moms and strong babies for generations to come. March of Dimes' five Prematurity Research Centers serve as the cornerstone of the organization's research program, employing some of the most dedicated and accomplished scientists in the world to work on the most difficult and pressing scientific questions in the field—and most importantly, to find answers that will prevent preterm birth and improve outcomes for mothers and babies. “It was inspiring to meet other national service partners of the March of Dimes and hear how their organizations are involved in this important work,” said Tri Sigma National Vice President Crystal Jones who attended a partner brunch and day of action in March of Dimes’ National Headquarters in Washington, D.C. last month. “It feels good to know we are in this fight together to end preventable maternal and infant death, to discover the causes of preterm birth and to achieve birth equity for all mothers.” As one of March of Dimes' 17 National Service Partners, Tri Sigma joins a distinguished group of organizations, including six National Pan-Hellenic Council  fraternities and sororities, Future Business Leaders of America , and Key Club International   in the collaborative effort to improve maternal and infant health outcomes nationwide. “From community educational programs to fundraising events, our partners do more than just raise awareness of the organization’s critical mission—they help us save moms and babies through volunteering, fundraising, and advocacy,” Michaela said.  Tri Sigmas are encouraged to join the fight for healthy babies and moms in their local communities through a variety of ways: ·      Participate in a March for Babies  near you. ·      Register for March of Dimes Advocacy Action Alerts . ·      Volunteer for March of Dimes . ·      Connect with your local March of Dimes about leadership opportunities . Members can also financially support March of Dimes by making a donation through the Tri Sigma Foundation .
