SIORF say “Thank you Community!”

The Soroptimists of the Olympic Rain Forest wish to thank all the wonderful, creative, and generous people who helped make our 2020 Festival of Trees a tremendous success during a strange and stressful year. We raised almost $18,000, far more than we expected, to fund projects for women and children in our community. Some of our projects are scholarships, awards, FMS Student of the Month, Mammogram Fund, SOS Cancer transportation fund, and Backpack program just to name a few.

We couldn’t have done this without the help of:
