WGC April 2024 eNewsletter

Happy Spring!

It's a lovely time of year where we've been out regularly celebrating women's philanthropy in the community with many of you.

This, is the power of a giving circle.

You are the women engaged in the important work of the WGC that supports women and girls in our community throughout the year.

In fact, I hope you will join us for WGC's Mother's Day Happy Hour on Wednesday, May 1, 5:30 pm at Bra la la. We'll sip, shop, and connect with WGC Advisory Board members and donors. And, you'll have a chance to win a gift from Bra la la. A portion of all proceeds will go to support the WGC's Feminine Hygiene Product Drive. Bra la la is a WGC Feminine Hygiene Product Drive partner, and hosts a bin in the store -  we invite you to bring products to donate. There is no fee to attend, but we ask that you register here. 

And, I hope you will join the Women's Giving Circle, Horizon Foundation, Community Foundation of Howard County, and United Way of Central Maryland for the Changemaker Challenge on Tuesday, May 7, 6:00 pm. The Changemaker Challenge 2024 is a social innovation competition to highlight and award ideas in Howard County where we will give out $100K - think “Shark Tank” for social change! This biennial event awards funding for project ideas that promise to make a difference in Howard County and this year we have some amazing finalists. And, one $10k award will go to a project geared toward women and girls or pitched by a woman! Click here to register to join us virtually to view the LIVE 2024 Changemaker Challenge event at The Collective Encore.

Please contact WGC Executive Director Buffy Beaudoin-Schwartz with any questions. 

Looking forward to seeing you on May 1 and having you join us virtually on May 7!
