In recognition of Surrey and White Rock youth
Submission ID:

The Semiahmoo Rotary Club, in partnership with the City of Surrey, is proud to announce the 15th Annual SASSY Awards. 
SASSY incorporates Rotary’s motto “Service Above Self,” which stands for Service Above Self Surrey Youth.

SASSY Awards aim to recognize and celebrate the achievements of youth who exemplify the values of Rotary by making a positive impact in our community, and are neither a scholarship nor a bursary.

Nominees will be highlighted on social media, on the SASSY Awards website, at the SASSY Awards Ceremony in the Surrey Now Leader and Peace Arch News and other media. A nominee photo and a video highlighting their achievements are part of the nomination application.

Category winners and finalists will be announced at the 15th Annual SASSY Awards Presentation Ceremony to be held at 7:00 pm at Surrey City Hall on Friday, November 28, 2025. All nominees and guests are expected to attend the reception and Presentation Ceremony.

Nominations are now being accepted in four categories for youth aged 15 to 21 living, studying, volunteering, or working in Surrey or White Rock. This year, for the first time, each category will have both Junior (16 & under) and Senior (17 & over) divisions.
