January 2026 WGC eNewsletter

new year, new opportunities.

As we begin the new year, I am honored and excited to serve as Chair of the Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County.
​
For 24 years, the WGC has brought women together to learn, lead, and give - strengthening our community through the power of collective philanthropy. As a fund of the Community Foundation of Howard County (CFHC), we are grateful for our strong and collaborative partnership, which enables us to deepen our impact, expand our reach, and advance our mission together.

This year brings many opportunities to continue investing in women and girls in Howard County. One of our signature moments ahead is our Annual Celebration & Pink Party on March 4, 2026 - The Power of WE: Courageous Philanthropy for Complex Times, featuring keynote speaker Hali Lee, author of The Big We.

I invite you to join us by sponsoring the WGC throughout 2026 (sponsorships begin at $200 and include event tickets) or by purchasing your tickets today so you can be part of this inspiring evening of community, connection, and purpose.

You can sponsor the WGC throughout 2026 and/or purchase tickets here!

I look forward to the year ahead and to all we will accomplish together through the collective generosity, leadership, and partnership that defines the WGC!

Sincerely,
Candace Dodson-Reed
WGC Advisory Board Chair
