The first Soroptimist Club was founded in 1921 in Oakland, California. Eighty professional and business women formed the Soroptimist Club to foster the ideals of service to advance the status of women. The heart of the Soroptimist mission is to make a difference for women and girls through volunteer service to the community. On February 16, 1937, seventeen women met to organize the Soroptimist Club of Cumberland County and on April 10, 1937 the club was officially chartered.
Our 80th Anniversary was celebrated in 2017.  Soroptimist Cumberland County, Inc. is grateful for our long and productive history. Our record of achievements throughout the years is significant and the number of lives we have touched are too numerous to count. Over the course of the past decades, from 1937 to the present, more than 400 professional and business women have joined our ranks to work to improve the lives of women and girls, both at home and in the international community. The total charitable donations we have raised and distributed through our fundraising efforts over the past 80 years exceed $ 700,000 in today’s dollars. The innumerable hands-on projects we have completed over these years have had a significant impact in our community.
