Family and friends donated the Jean Broadfoot Trophy to the Winnipeg Music Festival in 1997.

Jean Broadfoot was associated with the Winnipeg Music Festival as a competitor, an accompanist, and as a member of the Board of Directors.  In addition to her involvement with the Festival, she actively promoted music education and the Festival movement in the Province of Manitoba, serving as a syllabus advisor to the Associated Manitoba Arts Festivals and as an adjudicator at most of the festivals throughout the province.  She also served many local, provincial and national organizations in a leadership capacity.
