EVERY (Founders) PENNY COUNTS! In 1943 Soroptimist clubs began collecting one penny from each member for each year of Soroptimist’s existence to help re‐establish clubs in Europe that had disbanded due to pre‐World War II political conditions and the war itself. The tradition continues today to support our global Dream Programs that improve the lives of women and girls in local communities throughout the world. Founders Pennies help create a local and global relationship between Soroptimists and the women and girls who need our support. Founders Pennies represent approximately 10% of the total $1.7 million contributed to fund our programs.

 




INVESTING IN DREAMS

In 2
023, we made incredible strides in encouraging women and girls to reach their full potential.  As we grew our programs, more women and girls were given the opportunity to start a new chapter in life. This year, through our Live Your Dream Awards program, we were able to provide financial support for eight local women who, despite personal obstacles, are determined to complete education or training that leads to a better future for themselves and their families. Through our Dream It, Be It program, we helped put more than 50 girls on the path to success in education and careers beyond high school. We also awarded scholarships to three of our Dream It, Be It program participants who graduated from high school and are pursuing career education at community college and university.

Will you help us continue to invest in the dream of young women and girls?
