Local Donations
Since 2004 SI of Saskatoon has been the presenting sponsor for an annual fashion show fundraiser put on by the Saskatoon Sexual Assault & Information Centre. Funds raised at the fashion show targets and supports the centre’s Crisis Line. The club has also been a long-time contributor to the Crisis Shelter operated by the local YWCA, the Street Outreach Program operated by Egadz Youth Centre, and has also provided funding to the local Girl Guides of Canada that has allowed girls of limited means to participate in their camp programs. Club funds have also been used for the purchase of backpacks and school supplies for young single mothers using the services of Millies Daycare, housed in Nutana Collegiate.
Annual Signature Award
Live Your Dream: Education and Training Award for Women
The Saskatoon Club awards an annual bursary under this award category. This award is presented to qualified women who have been forced to put their dreams on hold as girls and are ready to begin a new life, and are the primary financial support for their families. Preference is given to women who could use a hand up to overcome personal difficulties and attend a vocational/skills training program or undergraduate degree program. Funds from this award may be used to offset any costs associated with furthering their education, including books, childcare and transportation. In 2015 we awarded two bursaries.
