• Since 1968, the League is best known for sponsoring the annual Fieldhouse Flea Market, a popular community event showcasing local creatives and artisans alongside traditional antique and Women’s League booths.
• All funds raised now go towards our scholarship endowments, with total annual awards to students greater than $50,000.
• Overall, we have awarded over $1 million in need-based scholarships to nearly 500 students.

Women’s League members include UPS alumnae, neighbors and interested community members, and parents of current, future, or former students.  Throughout the academic year, we gather monthly on campus for lunch or evening programs.  

Our primary purpose, in addition to the valued relationships members develop over our shared goals, is to support Puget Sound students by raising funds to provide scholarships. Our scholarship endowment principal totals nearly $1.4 million, and the earnings from that account enabled us to award $53,900 to fourteen students for the 2023-2024 academic year, an average of $3,850 per student.  Over the years since 1982, the Women’s League has awarded scholarships to more than 350 grateful students seeking financial assistance.

At our meetings students, faculty, or staff members are invited to our luncheon or evening meetings to present information about what’s happening at the university.  We enjoy a musical performance by a current School of Music student, reminisce about past activities from our long history, and we attend to our Women’s League business.  At our meetings, we also collect non-perishable food for the student food pantry.

Our primary means of raising funds is to sponsor the annual UPS Women’s League Flea Market held one Saturday in March.  This event was first launched by committed women in 1968 and continues today as a wonderful community event!  It is an “all hands on deck” event with jobs to fit every age and ability. 

Of course, we always welcome tax-deductible donations to our endowment.
