Patricia Million has enjoyed a long association with the Festival. For 18 years, she entered her kindergarten classes from Hamlet Public School in Stratford in the Festival. After she retired from teaching, she has been a valued volunteer, supporting the fundraising committee.

In 2003, Patricia purchased a beautifully framed print of a young girl at a grand piano and donated it to the Festival. The Director of Competitions determined that it should be "The Patricia Million Award". It has been presented each year since to a Junior Female Vocalist .
