Sam Goff, a graduating senior at Terra Linda High School where Sylvia graduated in 2005, was the first recipient of the “Sylvia Bingham Memorial Advocate for Justice Award” at his graduation ceremony in June, 2013 and given $750.
This award goes to an intellectually curious student who has worked creatively for economic or social justice on or off campus and who is not afraid to confront authority but always does so with a sense of fair play and fun, confident that small steps can make the world a better place and always trying, in the words of Gandhi, to be the change s/he wants to see in the world.
