Sigma Gamma Rho Prepares to Bring Service and Celebration to Houston with Its 60th International Biennial Boule

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. is set to host its 60th International Biennial Boule from Wednesday, July 31, through Sunday, August 4, 2024, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. The event will welcome a global delegation of over 10,000 attendees.

The sorority’s Biennial Boule will feature the implementation of its five essential national programs, making significant philanthropic contributions exceeding $550,000 to local communities. These initiatives will tackle critical issues such as maternal health, health and wellness, education, voting rights, mental health, food disparities, and support for underrepresented populations and youth.

“We are excited to bring our 60th Biennial Boule to Houston, a city known for its diversity and vibrancy,” said International President Rasheeda S. Liberty. “Our members are committed to making a meaningful impression through our service projects and community involvement, and we look forward to engaging with the City of Houston.”

The Sorority is calling for widespread support from the Houston community to participate in events, workshops, activations, and service projects on Wednesday, July 31, 2024. These activities aim to promote personal and professional development, ultimately enhancing the quality of life in Houston. Events will begin at 8:00 AM at the George R. Brown Convention Center with a press conference and will conclude with the 60th Biennial Boule Public Meeting starting at 6:00 PM. All events on Wednesday, July 31, are free and open to the public.

“We have been meticulously planning this event to ensure it not only celebrates our sorority but also leaves a positive footprint in Houston,” said Donna Fortenberry, Boule Planning Lead. “We invite everyone to join us in our mission to uplift and empower through service.”
