ABOUT S.A.S.S. AWARDS
The S.A.S.S. Awards (Sacramento Area Success Stipend) were created by the founders of the Sacramento Women’s Expo and Single Mom Strong.  In a time when great, unexpected need and a dampened sense of spirit has resulted from the global pandemic and chaos of 2020, we chose to highlight stories of resilience: women who are thriving against the odds. We recognize that an investment in strong Sacramento-Area women, those demonstrating determination and dedication to becoming their best selves, is an investment in the betterment of our community.
