King Cake Competition

To celebrate the vibrant spirit of Mardi Gras, Sigma hosted its highly anticipated annual King Cake Competition, bringing together employees for a fun and flavorful event. This year, the competition featured two exciting categories: Best Homemade and Best Store-Bought. With over 13 unique entries, participants showcased a diverse array of King Cakes, from traditional favorites to inventive takes with savory Louisiana flavors and even a few famous King Cake varieties thrown into the mix.

For the first time, Sigma introduced a new voting system that allowed employees to cast their votes on their favorite King Cake bite. The results were a delicious testament to the creativity and passion of our employees, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry that makes Louisiana so special.

As a proud Louisiana-based company, we love incorporating the spirit of Mardi Gras into our daily lives. The King Cake competition was the perfect way to bring our team together and celebrate the festive season while honoring the traditions that make Louisiana culture so unique

Hillar C. Moore Jr., Golf Classic

Sigma recently participated in the Hillar C Moore Jr. Golf Classic, supporting the Mary Bird Perkins Fundraiser to advance cancer research, patient outreach, and care. We’re proud to partner with such impactful causes that improve treatment and support. The 35th annual event was a great success, honoring those who’ve helped drive fundraising efforts and celebrating cancer survivors whose lives have been touched by these donations. A wonderful Friday spent in Baton Rouge’s vibrant community!

Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest

A Sigma Tradition Continues…

Each year, our annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest brings out the festive spirit—and this year was no exception! We’re excited to see so many new faces stepping up and adding fresh energy to this tradition. The competition was fierce, but one sweater stood out from the crowd.

A big congratulations to Kim Scheffler from our Project Services Group for taking home the title of “Ugliest Sweater” with her stunning creation: a snow globe featuring her supervisor’s Chuck Smith portrait—complete with lights! Kim’s sweater was the perfect combination of creativity, holiday spirit, and just the right amount of holiday “ugliness.”

We’d also like to give a shout-out to all our participants for making this year’s contest one to remember. Thanks for spreading the holiday cheer, and we can’t wait to see what next year brings!

Donuts with Santa

Santa made a special visit to Sigma this year, spreading holiday cheer to all! After taking pictures with and hearing what the kids wanted for Christmas, he surprised them with their very own Beck Fos Children’s book. The event was a big hit, with families taking part in a range of fun activities. They made their own reindeer food, wrote letters to Santa, decorated ornaments, ate donuts and enjoyed hot chocolate. Even the Grinch couldn’t resist joining in on the action! It was a great time for everyone involved, and with all the treats, everyone left with big smiles and a serious sugar rush!
