So far this year Soroptimist International of Wickenburg has had a successful year serving our community.
We funded eight ( 8 ), $1,000.00- 4-year renewal scholarships, choose 2 Christmas families and presented them with checks for $500.00 each, awarded 2 women with $4,000 each as recipients of our Live Your Dream program and chose Melissa’s Cupboard (charity of the Elks) for our Soroptimist Saturday of Service, donating items for residents in need through the Elks.
The Christmas family checks were awarded at a luncheon held at the Wickenburg Country Club.
Helping families at any time of the year is always so rewarding but at Christmas it is extra special.
And then……Members of Soroptimist International of Wickenburg hosted a luncheon and award ceremony at the Wickenburg Country Club to honor this year’s Live Your Dream recipients. Soroptimist members were honored to award checks in the amount of $4,000 to each recipient.
One recipient is a mother working toward her B.S. degree. She attends AZ College of Nursing completing her studies in December 2025.
She stated, “She loves her job as she is hands on with her patient care”, but her main goal after graduation is to work as an operating room nurse.
She also wants to pursue more education and specialize as a psychiatric nurse practitioner as “she feels that mental health is a continuous work in progress in America making it truly my passion to help others and break the stigma”.
Another recipient is starting her education journey later in life, but better late than never. She is pursuing a degree in nursing as a ultrasound technician.
She stated, “she is grateful and thankful for receiving an award to help her pursue her dream”.
Members of Soroptimist International of Wickenburg are proud and honored to award all our recipients and wish them future success in their endeavors.
