Dear Friends and Family, 

Educate.  Empower.  Enable.

Soroptimist International of Davis (SI Davis) is part of a global organization dedicated to the education and economic empowerment of women and girls, which is as vital now as it has ever been. Thanks to generous donations like yours, this year SI Davis will: 

  • provide $12,000 in Live Your Dream awards
  • mentor 14-17 year old girls at King High School through the Dream It, Be It program
  • award $8,000 in high school scholarships
  • award $3,000 in community grants that benefit women and girls
  • provide hygiene kits for women escaping domestic violence and sex trafficking
  • participate in hands-on community service across Yolo County 

Many recipients have lived through challenges and situations that have impacted their ability to pursue their dreams. Live Your Dream award recipients are single female heads of household supporting family members and this award helps them pursue educational or vocational school opportunities. This year's top recipient showed extraordinary tenacity in spite of incredibly challenging circumstances to pursue her goal of becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. She has since gone on to receive a regional Live Your Dream award to further support her educational goals. 

Participants in the Dream It, Be It program receive career mentoring and learn job skills over the course of an academic year, while high school scholarships are given to students who have experienced and overcome hardships. SI Davis also provides grants to community agencies who provide services to women and girls. 

Please consider donating to Soroptimist International of Davis.  A generous donor has pledged to match the first $5000 raised. 

Thank you for your support!

Best always, Kim
