Live Your Dream winner
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra (SITS) Club is honoring two local women this week, winners of the Live Your Dream and Ruby awards. They will be recognized during the club s meeting on March 11. Each will receive a check and certificate, and in the case of the Ruby Award, a donation also goes to the non-profit they represent.
The annual Live Your Dream award assists women who provide the primary source of financial support to their families by giving them the resources they need to improve their education, skills, and employment opportunities. Many of these women have overcome enormous obstacles including poverty, domestic violence and/or drug and alcohol abuse. Live Your Dream recipients receive a cash award which may be used to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education, such as books, childcare, tuition, and transportation.
