2025 Honorable Mention: Sustainer Initiatives

The Junior League of Sarasota, FL

The Junior League of Sarasota’s sustainer program exhibits their commitment to encouraging a lifelong connection to the Junior League through volunteerism, leadership, mentorship, and fundraising. Sustainers remain deeply engaged in community initiatives as well as holding bi-yearly Sustainer Membership Meetings. Their 21 active Interest Groups further support professional development, networking, and social engagement among members. Sustainers also play a pivotal role in fundraising, with their annual Legacy Luncheon raising $56,000 for the JLS Endowment Fund. Additionally, they provide critical volunteer support for major JLS events like the Tour of Homes. Beyond internal League efforts, Sustainers make a tangible community impact, with over 100 members volunteering for seven local organizations last year. Their commitment to joint projects with Active members, including Find the Good Day, fosters a stronger connection and reinforces a united League. By continuing their commitment to volunteerism, leadership, and community impact, Sustainers embody and extend The Junior League Mission, ensuring that the League's values endure and evolve with time.  Congratulations to the Junior League of Sarasota!
