Violet Richardson Award

Each year, Soroptimist International of Glendale presents the Violet Richardson Award to a girl between the ages of 14 and 17 whose volunteer activities make the community a better place. The Violet Richardson Award is not an academic scholarship. It is named in honor of the president of the first Soroptimist club, Violet Richardson, a woman of action whose indomitable spirit and sense of personal responsibility were demonstrated by her lifelong commitment to volunteering in her community. The award comes with a cash grant for the girl being recognized, as well as a cash grant for the charity with which she volunteers.  The 2012 Award will be presented at a luncheon on Thursday March 15, 2012.

If you would like to learn more about the Violet Richardson Award, or to be notified when the 2013 application is available, please contact us at vrasoroptimistglendale [dot] org.
