Celebrating Sitka Women and Queer People who do extraordinary things against all odds.

​

Nine individuals will be honored who embody SAFV’s main values: safety, respect, community. The honorees will be broken up into three age groups, high school (13-19), young adult (20-34), and adult (35 and older).

 

There will be three awards per age group, one for safety, one for community, and one for respect.

​

Here is how we define these values:​

• SAFETY: living without fear or threat of violence and creating a place to heal

• RESPECT: honoring and upholding the personal beliefs and values of others and ourselves. Respect is both given and received

• COMMUNITY: a sense of connectedness and togetherness with those we are involved with and to whom and for whom we are responsible
