WILTON MANORS, FL – Sidelines Sports Bar’s owner, Laurie Whittaker, and her partner of thirty-one years, Jennifer Morales, have been named as this year’s recipients of the prestigious Jamie Bloodworth Award by the Board of Directors of The Dolphin Democrats.

According to the by-laws of the Dolphin Democrat, each year the Board of Directors presents the Jamie Bloodworth Leadership Award to any self-identifying female who has shown excellence in leadership and/or sponsorship of issues improving the human rights

of the GLBT community at large.

“We are incredibly honored and proud to receive this award. When we opened Sidelines Sports Bar over five years ago, our focus was as business people working hard to be successful while giving back to our community. It was never our intent to receive such accolades and high praises, but it certainly is nice to be recognized in this way. Thanks must also go to an incredible staff of dedicated and hard working people who each day step up and make us look good!” stated Whittaker.
