The Inspiring Alumni Award trophies in the collection were presented to founders Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little, Bessie May Downey Rhodes Martin, and Dorothy Hanley Whiteside. The awards given in honor of the remaining three founders (Cubena McClure, Vivian Irene White Marbury, and Hattie Mae Dulin Redford) are retained by their families. The award trophies are a blown glass flame on top of a black base and are in presentation cases.
