Community & Board Recognition Awards
Every year in July, we hold our annual community and board recognition awards event where we celebrate our amazing donors, volunteers, community partners, board members, and staff who have gone above and beyond in support of our mission to empower girls. The 2022 event was held on July 12th in the historical Elks Lodge ballroom.
Thank you to everyone who attended. A big thanks to C’era Una Volta Kitchen & Catering for the wonderful appetizer boxes, Dandelion Flower Shop for the beautiful centerpieces, and Al Wright at Raintree Studios for taking the fabulous photos. View photos from the event.
We are honored and grateful to have such a dedicated and generous group of individuals and businesses that believe strongly in our mission and show up for our girls in so many ways. Thank you and congratulations to all the awardees!
