2026 High School Scholarships Recipients
Thank you to our Friday Harbor community who have generously donated to Soroptimists enabling us to provide Scholarships to high school girls who will continue their educations. Our recent annual fundraiser, A-May-Zing, held on May 17th at Roche Harbor Resort, raised $12,500 for High School Scholarships, which was distributed to the following incredibly talented graduates at the June 6th graduation ceremony.
The award winners are Charley Lawrence-Sampson, Alison Power, Sophia Ramirez, Krysten Ruano Torres, and Flora Vaught (listed alphabetically). We are very proud of these young women and know they will make the world a better place as they pursue their goals. You have made a significant difference in their lives by providing support for their future endeavors and enabling them to follow their dreams.
What is a Soroptimist?
The name Soroptimist was coined from the Latin word soror meaning sister, and optima meaning best. And so Soroptimist is perhaps best
interpreted as 'the best for women'.
Our mission and goals are guided by the
overall vision of
Soroptimist International,
Soroptimist International of the Americas
and
Soroptimist International Northwestern Region.
