About Us at SI South Perth
Welcome to the Soroptimist International club of South Perth (SISP). Our club is a not for profit organisation with the aim of helping all women in society.
SISP helps women locally in South Perth, regionally in Western Australia and on a global scale internationally by joining with like-minded people to encourage change in many areas of society.
SISP has over 20 members from South Perth and surrounding areas who work in fundraising, programme, membership and social to uphold the ideals of Soroptimism.
An executive committee of inspiring women encourages all others in the group to be their best and to achieve personal goals. Each achievement on a personal level contributes to the overall success of the club.
| Relay for Life 1 & 2 May 2010 |  |  | | Written by Annelieske Noteboom | | Sunday, 16 May 2010 |
The 24 hour Relay for Life was held on 1 & 2 May 2010 at the new athletics stadium. It was the 10th anniversary of the event, which raises money for cancer research and other programs supported by the Cancer Council. Our team leader, Vida Corbett, and her partner Bruce, have participated in all 10 events and received certificates to acknowledge this milestone. To celebrate, Vida walked or jogged for 24 hours, an amazing achievement and we are all very proud of her. Other club members and their partners participated in the event, some taking turns to keep Vida company through the night. We raised over $4,000 through sponsorship and the sale of raffle tickets.
