2006 Honorable Mention: Women At The Center Honors (WATCH)

Faced with declining morale and eroding membership among Sustainers in recent years, The Junior League of San Francisco launched a program to instill pride, build excitement and increase involvement among Sustainers in meaningful ways. The program is known as WATCH or Women At The Center Honors and celebrates extraordinary women who through philanthropy or community leadership have made valuable contributions to the quality of life in the Bay Area.

With contributions from community donors and event sponsors, the event honors League members and non-members with prizes ranging from $300 to $1,000. Launched in 2004, WATCH is the first completely Sustainer-conceived and executed community fundraising event in the JLSF's 94-year history.
