The Dale Vaughn-Bowen Scholarship award was founded in memory of Pleasanton resident Dale Vaughn-Bowen who lost her battle with cancer in March of 2010. Her service and dedication to her community and Soroptimist International is memorialized by an annual gift to a deserving High School student who has lost a parent to cancer. Dale was always ready to lend a hand around town to various charities and organizations, her tireless work to fundraise for cancer causes continued until the end of her life. The members of the Soroptimist club felt it necessary to honor Dale’s more than 25 years of Soroptimist service by creating this annual scholarship opportunity, honoring her spirit and keeping her memory alive.
