Who is eligible for the Bonnie Award?
This recognition is for young women aged 14 to 17 residing in the North Shore. If you’ve showcased notable volunteer accomplishments, tackled challenges with a positive spirit, and contributed to improving the community and world–especially in areas like homelessness, teen challenges, violence, drug abuse, discrimination, and environmental concerns – you’re eligible! Projects benefiting women or girls are particularly valued.
The award is focused solely on your volunteer work and leadership qualities, providing an opportunity to celebrate a girl dedicated to making a positive impact, regardless of academic, athletic, or popularity standings. The award is not open to Soroptimist members, SIA employees and their immediate families.
About the Bonnie McLaren Award
The Bonnie McLaren Award recognizes young women who make service to the community an important part of their education, identified social or economic issues that are important to them in their community, and taken positive action to address these issues through volunteer efforts.
Soroptimist believes that by acknowledging young women's volunteer involvement now, they will grow up to be vital active members of the community.
Violet Richardson, the president of the first Soroptimist club in Alameda County in 1921 believed in personal responsibility and the motto, “It's what you do that counts”. She lived her life accordingly, as an active member in her community who was committed to creating opportunities for girls and young women.
The award is in honour of Bonnie McLaren, a member of Soroptimist International of North and West Vancouver (from 2001 until her passing in 2010) who believed in the same principles.
Bonnie exemplified what Soroptimists strive for. Her indomitable spirit, sense of personal responsibility, and commitment to making the world a better place was evident in everything she did. She worked tirelessly without fanfare to truly make a difference.
Bonnie’s legacy lives on with the Bonnie McLaren Award established by the Soroptimists of North and West Vancouver.
With the award, we honour her cherished memory by recognizing young women on the North Shore in their pursuit of leadership aspirations through volunteer service in the community.
