Sharon Boggs - 2021

As a true steward of building community here in Brisbane, Sharon Boggs has served on the Parks & Recreation Commission, been an active member of the Brisbane Lions Club, and fills a current seat on the Brisbane School Board.  It doesn’t stop there!  For many years, Sharon has volunteered her time at countless City-wide events as a DJ extraordinaire.  She’s front & center as the heart of the DJ dance nights in the park for the concert series, and she’s working hard behind the scenes at events like the Festival of Lights to provide audio and visual services. 

As a founding member of the LUNAFEST event subcommittee, Sharon has helped to raise over $86,000 the past three years for Brisbane women pursuing degrees in male-dominated fields. 

This past year, Sharon was instrumental in establishing the Brisbane Covid Response Coalition, or BCRC, to provide services to Brisbane residents and support them through the challenges presented by the pandemic.  She set up a website in record time and implemented a system whereby residents could request help and other community members could volunteer to assist.  Volunteers were matched with those needing help and services were rendered to ensure that everyone’s basic needs within our community were being met. 

Sharon worked tirelessly to make a difference in our community.  She is giving of her time, energy, and effort to improve the quality of life for people of all ages and demographics.  She is selfless and represents the true spirit of this award.   After many years of volunteerism in our community, we take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Sharon!

Thank you, Sharon. Your unselfish and dedicated service has made a significant difference in our community and contributes to the wonderful quality of life in Brisbane!
