MUCH ADO for Soroptimist Int'l of Davis
Tax deductible
In our production of Much Ado About Nothing, we wanted to bring to light the myriad of double standard women are subjected to. Soroptimist International vows to provide women and girls with the resources they need to achieve their dreams and live a happy and healthy life, a message we are aiming to present in our production. While admission to our show is free, we ask that you consider making a contribution today.
About Soroptimist International:
Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment. It was founded in Oakland, Calif. in 1921 by a group of 80 women who were denied access to a male service club. The founding members coined the organization’s name from two Latin words, meaning “best for women.”
The heart of Soroptimist’s mission is to make a difference for women and children through volunteer service to the community. Projects are carefully chosen to address challenges unique to women and children today, from providing women with routine medical care and funding domestic violence shelters, to sponsoring career development programs for girls and tutoring women in literacy and basic job skills.
Soroptimist clubs receive assistance in their volunteer efforts by fundraising and by participating locally in programs developed and sponsored by the organization. Soroptimist’s major service project, the Live Your Dream Awards program, provides cash grants for head-of-household women seeking to improve their economic situation through additional education and training.
