Soroptimist of Cape May County Violet Richardson Award
Volunteer - It’s What You Do That Counts!
Are you a young woman between the ages of 14 and 18 who volunteers in your community or school? 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. This award recognizes young women who make the community and world a better place through volunteer efforts. Volunteer actions that benefit women or girls are of particular interest.
Soroptimist is an organization of women whose members volunteer in Cape May County, 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. That is one reason why we sponsor this award and give $800 to the young woman selected for the award and $200 is donated toward the organization where she volunteers.
If you think you would make a good Violet Richardson Award candidate, please complete this application and tell us about your volunteer action. Good luck! And, even if you don’t win a Violet Richardson Award, we applaud your efforts to make your community and the world a better place
