Local: SIA (Sisters in Action)
On a local level, chapters as well as alumnae participate in a variety of community service events. Each chapter as well as each region is encouraged to participate in local events based on the needs of their community. Philanthropies that our organization traditionally sponsors/participates in include (but are not limited to):

March of Dimes
The mission of this organization is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. We carry out this mission through research, community services, education and advocacy to save babies' lives. March of Dimes researchers, volunteers, educators, outreach workers and advocates work together to give all babies a fighting chance against the threats to their health: prematurity, birth defects, low birth weight. SIA has fundraised on behalf of the March of Dimes since 1990.

MS Walk
For too long, 400,000 Americans and their families have suffered the devastating effects of MS. More than just a fundraising event, though, the MS Walk is a celebration for an entire community. The donations that pour in fund countless programs and services and research, but the event itself creates a hope-filled and fun atmosphere for everyone affected by MS while generating a greater awareness of multiple sclerosis in the public at large. Families are drawn closer together, co-workers are united for a greater good, and people gain a better understanding of what MS is and how close we are coming to eradicating it. SIA has fundraised on behalf of the MS Walk since 1990.

Special Olympics
Special Olympics is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities to become physically fit, productive and respected members of society through sports training and competition. Special Olympics offer children and adults with intellectual disabilities year-round training and competition in 30 Olympic-type summer and winter sports. SIA has volunteered with the Special Olympics since 1990.

Various Breast Cancer Walks
Worldwide, Breast Cancer is the most common form of cancer in females - affecting, at some time in their lives, approximately one out of nine to one out of thirteen women who reach age ninety in the Western world. It is the second most fatal cancer in women and it is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among Latina women.
