Soroptimist International of River Valley sponsors four (4) fundraisers throughout the year.  Those earnings are then distributed in the Grants Pass area to organizations that improve the lives of women and girls.  This year we raised and gave away $6,000 to the charities and projects listed below.

Women’s Opportunity Award

        Each year, Soroptimist International of River Valley gives a monetary award to a female head-of-household who is trying to improve herself through education.  Would you like to learn more about this year’s winner?
