DOORS OPEN AT 6:30

Welcome to the SASSY (Service Above Self Surrey Youth) Awards 2024! Join us for a night of celebrating outstanding youth in Surrey who go above and beyond in serving their community. The event will be held at the Surrey Art Gallery & Surrey Civic Theatres at Surrey Arts Centre, a perfect setting to honor our young changemakers. Award presentations will alternate with musical performances by talented young local artists from our community. Get ready for an evening filled with inspiration, recognition, and maybe even a few surprises. Let's come together to applaud the remarkable efforts of our local youth!

Six Awards will be presented in the categories of:

1. Arts & Culture Leadership
2. Community Service
3. Environmental Leadership
4. Youth Leadership
5. Overcoming Adversity
6. Sports and Recreation Leadership

Three finalists will be selected in each of the six categories. Thanks to a range of community partnerships the recipients of each category will recieve a $1,500 award along with $500 donations that each award recipient will present to a charity of their choice. The other two finalists will both recieve $500 awards to honour their achievements in the community as well as a $250 donation to the charity of their choice.

The work of three finalists in each category will be showcased in a short video at the event before the awards are presented.
