Friends, Today we received this lovely note from a woman we helped in partnership with Grassroots, through our Emergency Response Network. This is why we do this work, together! Thank you all! Sincerely, Barb Van Winkle WGC Chair   Dear WGC Donors and Friends,
It's been a busy Women's History Month - thanks to all our donors, partners, and friends who have supported our efforts in so many ways! We started the month on the heels of raising $1,000 in two hours to support a woman in need through our Emergency Response Network - thank you for your ongoing support! We were proud to be a funder again of Girl Power! where over 800 girls came to learn about and experience STEM careers. And, we were honored to fund this year's powerful Visionary Women Art Exhibit at the Columbia Art Center, and to attend the Gala Reception on International Women’s Day! I hope you get a chance to stop by before it ends at the end of March. READ THE FULL ENEWSLETTER HERE We've got some great events coming up that I hope you can promote and/or join us!
