Soroptimist International of Humboldt Bay (SIHB) raises $17,000 for scholarships and awards

 

Soroptimist International of Humboldt Bay (SIHB) raises $17,000 for scholarships and awards for local women and girls! 

You may have seen one of the many pink high heel signs left in lawns around Humboldt which was part of SIHB’s fundraiser - You’ve Been Heeled. With the cancellation of their large annual fundraiser, High Heels for Healing, this past April due to COVID, SIHB rallied and kicked off the inaugural You’ve Been Heeled fundraiser in October. 

The goal was to raise $5,000 with six to twelve members spreading the “heeling” and joy by moving high heel lawn signs from one home or business to another. Instead, SIHB ended up with twenty volunteers including Eureka High “S” Club!

 Thanks to the efforts of the SIHB members, friends of SIHB, the Eureka High “S” Club and the wonderful donor response, SIHB was able to surpass their goal of $5000 and ecstatically raised $17,000! What a great start toward their goals in funding scholarships and awards especially during a year where many have fallen on stressful times. 

Be on the lookout this spring as the You’ve Been Heeled lawn signs will make another appearance in conjunction with SIHB’s 14th annual High Heels for Healing fundraiser.  

To be considered for a scholarship or award you must submit your application before the SIHB deadline. Several applications have already been received and they are anticipating more as the deadlines quickly approach.

Soroptomist International of Humboldt Bay wants to send a special thank you to each individual donor and business partner who made this successful fundraiser possible!
