Honoring Champions of Change
On Thursday, November 15th, hundreds of people from across our community will join The Women’s Fund of Winston-Salem to celebrate 13 years of the Fund's unwavering commitment to engage our community and build economic security for women and girls in Forsyth County. Over the course of 13 years, the Fund has fostered an amazing network of active women philanthropists; hundreds of women and girls who have and continue to invest their time, talent and treasure towards a better community.

Today, we honor the hundreds of women and girls in our community who may have assumed the role of advocate, or teacher, or friend, or supporter, or victor - women who are champions of change. Women who actively give of themselves so that all women and girls are healthy, empowered and have the resources to be independent, self-sufficient and contributing members of the community.

H onor the Champions of Change in your life by making a tribute gift to The Women’s Fund today!

With a gift of $50 or more, your honoree and you will be listed in the program for the 13th annual luncheon. Also, a special letter from The Women’s Fund will be sent to your honoree to inform them of your special gift. You can recognize as many people as you like with a donation of $50 or more for each of your honorees.

All tribute gifts provide direct support for our mission - to build economic security for women and girls in Forsyth County. Gifts may be made in honor or in memory of someone who you admire as a Champion of Change . To ensure that your tribute is listed in the luncheon program, your gift must be received no later than Friday, October 19, 2018.
