Thank You!
This year Soroptimist clubs have contributed over $500,000 through their generosity to Founders Pennies, Club Giving, and the Dream Big Campaign! We want to recognize and celebrate these clubs for their hard work fundraising in their local communities, committing to giving 10% of funds raised, AND going over and above to invest in our Big Goal of investing in the dreams of a half million women and girls through access to education. We have a special message and thank you for our clubs, who help to make a global impact year after year.
Laurel Society Celebration
We look forward to next month when we will celebrate our distinguished Laurel Society members during a special, private event on August 17. Active Laurel Society members should have received an invitation by email last week—please remember to RSVP!
For more information on joining the Laurel Society and attending this exclusive event, please reach out to Director of Donor Relations, Erica Cheslock.
