We are so inspired by how many people rallied together at the Luncheon to support the Women of Distinction and the Women and Girls Fund of Waukesha County. The inspirational women honored, camaraderie and community presence were all amazing. The support from the more than 600 guests, generous sponsors and others in the community helped us raise more than $195,000. These funds are vital for our ongoing partnerships with the agencies doing crucial work in our community to support women and girls. As a direct result of this event, grants totaling $145,000 will be distributed to 14 area nonprofit organizations to support programs that promote the health and well-being, self-sufficiency and empowerment of women and girls in our community. An additional $6,000 in grants will be awarded to 4 nonprofit organizations, one chosen by each honoree.
