Special Awards

The Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative Foundation is dedicated to providing youth programs (Washington Youth Tour, YES Fair, and Scholarships) for our community. The Youth Engineering and Science Fair (YES Fair), is one of three International Science Fair-affiliated fairs in the state of Arizona. Each year, the YES Fair sends two project teams to the International Science Fair (ISEF).

We are not requesting monetary support of the YES Fair itself. Rather, we hope you will join other local organizations in providing Special and Recognition awards directly to individual students in the form of a certificate, letter, gift card, check, or other non-monetary recognition. Organizations which have in the past chosen to provide such awards range from colleges/universities, various professional associations, community businesses, volunteer groups, and government organizations. The criteria and recipients for all Special and Recognition awards are determined solely by the sponsoring organization, unless the sponsoring organization arranges for the YES Fair to select their recipient(s).

As a Special and Recognition sponsor, your organization will receive exposure in media and will be mentioned in promotions for the event. During the Awards Ceremony on the last evening of the YES Fair you can present your award/recognition to the student(s). In past years we have had over 300 students, parents, teachers, school officials, and community leaders attend the ceremony.

Below is a list of past YES Fair Special and Recognition Awards and a link to our online “Special and Recognition Awards Commitment Form”. Here is an opportunity for your organization to make a difference and open up a world of possibilities for students.
