Margot Perot Spirit Award
The Margot Perot Spirit Award, created in 2003, was named in honor of Margot Perot, who was instrumental in establishing The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary of Houston. The award is presented annually to a SAWA member who exemplifies these outstanding attributes:
She is a woman who has a kind spirit but is not fragile.
She is a woman who has given her heart to God and demonstrates the love of Christ to others.
She is one who is a leader but helps others to excel.
She is not only a leader but volunteers and serves others and helps in time of need.
She is one who demonstrates a “can do” attitude and helps SAWA accomplish its goals.
She is an active member of SAWA.
