  • Betty Sonnhalter Award

    In 2001, the Southern California Interclub Association of Figure Skating Clubs initiated a Memorial Grant Program in memory of Betty Sonnhalter, an official and member of the local skating community for many years. This grant was created to honor her many years of dedication to young ice skaters.

    Each year two skaters are selected by an Interclub committee from applications submitted by Interclub Member Club skaters. One grant is for Novice skaters and above, and one is for Intermediate through Juvenile skaters. The two recipients for 2021 will receive the $500 grant later in the year. Previous recipients in each category group are not eligible to reapply in the same group.
