Gold Rose Award

The Gold Rose Award honors a sustaining member of the Junior League of Topeka for their ongoing positive impact on our community. It is the most prestigious award given by The Junior League of Topeka to honor someone who has used their league training to contribute to the betterment of the Topeka Community. The Gold Rose Award began in 1971 when awarded to Elizabeth “Betty” Edson Bowers. Although Betty is no longer with us, her skills, volunteer service, and dedication to improving our community are remembered each year as we honor another exceptional Sustaining League Member.

Congratulations to our 2022 Honoree, Joanne Harrison!
