Community Projects

Soroptimist of Friday Harbor helps to support the community through scholarships, awards, financial gifts and ongoing support to community projects.

The Cancer Relief Treatment Project was created in partnership with the San Juan Eagles with a grant from Soroptimist of the Americas. This invaluable program provides ferry tickets and air transportation to the mainland for cancer treatment for San Juan islanders.

Our Family Emergency Fund is available with emergency assistance for families in need.

The Womens' Opportunity and Violet Richardson Awards honor San Juan Islands women and girls who are making a difference in the world.

We also lend a hand with donations and volunteers to:

• the Knowledge Bowl Benefit for the San Juan Public Schools Foundation
• the San Juan County Relay for Life
• Island Clean-Up
• the Nylon Zoo at the Children's Festival
• the Jon Pettingill Memorial Triathlon
• Face Painting at the 4th of July Pig War Picnic
• Helping to staff the gates at the annual San Juan County Fair
• the Community Thanksgiving Dinner
• Adopting a local family at Christmas
• and much more
