The Spectrum Awards for Women annually recognizes outstanding women whose efforts have made significant contributions to the quality of life in South Florida. These leadership awards acknowledge the humanitarian principles of the American Red Cross: Humanity, Impartiality, Independence, Unity, Neutrality, and Voluntary Service. “Spectrum” refers to women's impact across the broad scope of community life and reflects the spectrum of cultures represented in our community.
More than 400 people representing the diversity of Greater Miami & the Keys are expected to attend this event, which will raise funds for the vital lifesaving programs and services of the American Red Cross Greater Miami & The Keys Chapter.
