Scholarships and Awards

February 16, 2010 SIFC will be presenting the Women's Opportunity and Living Her Dream scholarships, along with the Violet Richardson Award for teen girls who volunteer and the Ruby Award for women who make a difference for other women. 

Women's Opportunity is presented to female heads of households who are attending school to improve their ability to provide for their family.  Living Her Dream is presented to a woman who has overcome adversity to pursue her career dreams. 

SIFC has a long history of providing financial support and recognition to teens and women in our area.  Awards have been presented to outstanding youth in our community since 1968.  Women who need a hand achieving their dreams have been presented scholarships for 38 years. And women who help other women have been recognized since 1974.

Need a Read? Pick up One at the Soroptimist/AAUW Annual
Book Sale, Foothills Fashion Mall, Feb 26-28, 2010

Calling all readers and non-readers alike!  You can't afford to miss the annual book sale. 

This is the one sale where you can count on no duds.  All books are cleaned and checked for damage then sorted by genre and then  by author's last name.  You don't have to sort through the entire section to find your favorite author! Only gently used books are in the sale.  No warped, water damaged or mildewed books allowed!

Paperbacks (both trade and mass market) sell for $2 each, hardbacks are $4.  Kids' books for less than a dollar.  What a deal!! 

Proceeds from the sale are shared equally between AAUW and SIFC. AAUW provides scholarships and SIFC uses our part to fund programs that aid women and girls locally and through the world. 

SIFC is accepting donations of clean used books for the book sale. For information on making a donation please contact us at sifortcollins@hotmail.com. 

Cups De Ville Raises Almost $5,000!

SIFC hosted Fort Collins' first ever Bras for a Cause event, Cups De Ville, on October 8th at the Hilton. The event boasted a silent auction, appetizers including a chocolate fountain, and of course beautiful bras decorated by local businesses and non-profits.

Money raised from the event will be presented to Soroptimist's fund for PVH's Navigator Program on January 19th at our January program meeting. This fund benefits breast cancer patients who are in need of some additional aid.

Our sincere thanks to the folks at The Group Real Estate who raised several hundred dollars on their own to add to our total.  We are extremely grateful for your support!!
