What is PuzzleMania?

PuzzleMania is Soroptimist International of Raleigh’s popular speed-puzzling fundraiser, where teams of four race to complete a 500-piece puzzle in the fastest time.

PuzzleMania brings together a diverse group of men and women for a fun-filled afternoon supporting our mission: providing women and girls with access to education so they may achieve their career goals and provide a better life for their families.

PuzzleMania VIII

On February 7th we held our 8th PuzzleMania! Over 120 people puzzled and our top finishers completed their puzzles in just over 25 minutes. We raised over $11,000 for supporting education and career opportunities for women and girls.

The Impact

Soroptimist Raleigh has granted over $123,000 to women in our local communities through the Live Your Dream: Education and Training Awards for Women. In 2025, Soroptimist Raleigh granted a total of $21,000 to 25 women through these awards and other programs. Our sponsors made a difference: 86% of our Live Your Dream Award recipients completed their education and improved their standard of living.
