Soroptimist International of Carson City invites 'Women Helping Women' Honoree Sponsorship submissions for recognition event

Soroptimist International of Carson City joins with our Partnership Sponsor, Allison MacKenzie, to invite businesses, nonprofits and local agencies to sponsor a woman from their company or from the community as a “Women Helping Women” Honoree in recognition of her dedication to improving the lives of women or girls. Honoree sponsorship submissions are due by December 31, 2020. Honorees will be recognized at our “Celebrating Women Helping Women” event, to be held virtually on February 18, 2021 from 6:30 pm to 8 pm.

Now through December 31, 2020, local businesses, nonprofits and agencies may sponsor an individual woman who has gone above and beyond, in her professional or volunteer work, to make a difference in the lives of women and girls. Sponsors need to complete a “Women Helping Women” Honoree Recognition Form when submitting their sponsorship fee. The forms are available on SI Carson City’s website at www.sicarsoncity.org or by request at sicarsoncity@gmail.com. Please submit your sponsorship and recognition form early as only twelve women will be honored at the virtual celebration in February.

SI Carson City recognizes that throughout our community, there are women who share their time, expertise, compassion and motivation to help other women or girls and they deserve to be acknowledged for those efforts. Do you have an outstanding female staff member who provides a level of care and compassion that really sets her apart? Or an employee that volunteers in the community helping a nonprofit with its program efforts for women or girls? Is there a board member or volunteer who has dedicated her time to making sure women or girls in our community have access to activities that encourage their education, improve life skills, provide quality health care, or provide support in order to overcome family hardships? Our “Celebrating Women Helping Women” event is the occasion to acknowledge her contributions and allow the community to express our gratitude and appreciation for her efforts. Join us as a “Women Helping Women” Honoree Sponsor. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available.

The twelve “Women Helping Women” Honorees will be announced in early January 2021 with event ticket sales and program advertising opportunities at that time. Honorees will be invited to a private virtual reception before the event and be recognized with their sponsor.

Honorees will be individually recognized at the event, will receive a framed recognition certificate, have a profile page in the event program and be highlighted on the SI Carson City website and Facebook page. The 2021 Honorees will have an engraved name plate added to the community SI Carson City “Women Helping Women” plaque, and join the 2020 “Women Helping Women” Honorees listed. Please visit our Event: Celebrating Women Helping Women website page at www.sicarsoncity.org. Call SI Carson City at (775) 297-4890 with questions.

SI Carson City continues to congratulate and extend our appreciation to our 2020 "Women Helping Women" Honorees who were recognized in February; Adrianne Alexander, Valerie Bianchi-Wood, Seena Drapala, Marty Elzy, Melanie Fry, Erika Lera, Natalie Molleson, Dawn Morgan, Samantha Szoyka, Traci Trenoweth, Dr. Jennifer Verive and Molly Walt.
