Dear members and supporters,

The Soroptimist International of Glendale (SIG) is thrilled to announce its second annual Scholarship Brunch and Concert on Sunday, November 10, from 11:30 to 2 p.m. This event is a testament to the community’s commitment to fostering the arts and supporting women in their educational pathways. This partnership with the Glendale Community College (GCC) Music Department is a harmonious blend of philanthropy and music, celebrating the talents of both emerging and established artists.

The event promises an auditory feast featuring the Symphony of the Verdugos and the renowned flutist Sarah Andon, alongside the gifted GCC staff, students, and career musicians. It’s an opportunity not just to enjoy a day filled with beautiful music but also to contribute to a noble cause, providing scholarships to women with a passion for the visual and performing arts who are in financial need. Your presence and support can make a significant difference in the lives of these aspiring artists.

We have VIP sponsorship opportunities and tickets for the brunch and concert. The flyer has information and a QR code for ticket purchases. The event will be held at the GCC Verdugo Campus, and GCC Culinary Arts will prepare delicious food, beverages, and wine. Parking is free at most locations. See Map.

Let’s make dreams matter!

Jeannie Kagan, SIG President

Susan Riechel and Desiree Portillo Rabinov, SIG Scholarship Co-Chairs

Soroptimist Intl of Glendale (SIG) has partnered with Glendale Community College’s (GCC) Music and Performing Arts department to establish a scholarship program for women studying music or performing arts to support their educational goals while strengthening their career path. Contributions to this event will build on the endowment for women in this field of study. Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that increases access to education for women and girls facing obstacles, which leads to achieving their goals and becoming economically self-sufficient. Soroptimist Intl of Glendale strongly believes that education is the pathway to economically empowering women, and we desire to create a scholarship for women who face obstacles to accessing education (but who are not eligible for the Live Your Dream Award). This would be that scholarship.
