The Mary Bridge Brigade

Long before Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital opened its doors, a group of women known as the Tacoma Orthopedic Association, now Mary Bridge Brigade, opened their hearts to the children of their community. Our volunteer organization was the driving force behind the establishment of Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital and Health Network.

Since 1921, the Mary Bridge Brigade has donated more than $50 million and countless volunteer hours to support health and healing for children at Mary Bridge.
