The Duke Women’s Impact Network (WIN) is dedicated to celebrating and accelerating the power of women’s philanthropy, a passion of Sarah Redfield Ryland ’87. She and her husband Kyle Trivitt Ryland ’87, P’20, P’22 have a long legacy of supporting causes they believe in. Over the years, their involvement with Duke has been inspiring and unwavering, so when the Rylands heard about the fledgling Duke softball program, they were eager to pitch in.

Sarah came to Duke by way of the West Coast. She attended an all-girls school in Palo Alto, California. The school, Castilleja, was founded in 1907 by the encouragement of Stanford University’s first president to provide a comprehensive preparatory college education for young women.
