THE VIOLET RICHARDSON AWARD

It's What YOU Do That Counts!

Are you a young woman between the ages of 14 and 17 who volunteers in your community or school? Who sees challenges instead of obstacles? Hope instead of despair? If you are a young woman who believes in the power of volunteer action, then you may be eligible to win a Soroptimist Violet richardson Award.

The Violet Richardson Award recognizes young women who make the community and world a better place through volunteer efforts such as: fighting drugs, crime and violence; cleaning up the environment; and working to end discrimination and poverty. Volunteer actions that benefit women or girls are especially valued.

Soroptimist is an organization of women whose members volunteer in their communities, often working on the same problems that you do. Although we realize that volunteering is its own reward, we also know it feels good to be recognized for your actions. And that's why we sponsor this award.

The Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award Program

The Violet Richardson Award program begins at the local club level, where Soroptimist International of Greater Bremerton Area will award $250 to a single winner. In addition, $250 will be contributed to her volunteer organization. Club level winners then become eligible for one of twenty-eight (28) $1,000 awards. In addition, $1,000 will be contributed in honor of these winners to their volunteer organizations. Finally, one finalist will be chosen from among the 28 winners for an additional award, including a contribution of $2,500 to the finalist's volunteer organization.

If you believe you are a good candidate for our Violet Richardson Award, we encourage you to apply. And, if you know someone who would be a good candidate, please send them to this site for more information.

Good luck! We applaud your efforts to make our community and the world a better place.
