The impact of Inspire continues beyond the event.

As we reflect on Inspire, we’re reminded that the evening is about so much more than one night—it’s about what happens next in our community.

Because of the support raised through Inspire, we are able to fund incredible programs like the Corning Community College Development Foundation, Inc.’s “Full STEAHM Ahead Summer Workshop.”

This program introduces fourth and fifth grade girls to science, technology, engineering, art, health, and math through hands-on experiences designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and encourage future college and career exploration. Even more powerful, past participants often return as Junior Chaperones—stepping into leadership roles and mentoring the next group of students.

As one Junior Chaperone shared:
"I kept coming back to Full STEAHM Ahead because of the engaging and fun learning environment. A reason I stayed with this camp, and the CCC Girls Programs was that I really enjoyed participating in the camps myself and wanted the next grades of kids to get the same experience that I received. I really enjoyed being able to lead and mentor as a Junior Chaperone and look forward to coming back to volunteer at this camp next year.”

As we reflect on an incredible Inspire 2026, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to all of our sponsors. Your generosity, commitment, and belief in our mission helped make this event a tremendous success. And as a result, we are able to continue providing vital opportunities for women and girls throughout the Southern Tier.

Because of your support, Inspire was more than an evening of connection and inspiration—it was an investment in the future of our communities. The funds raised will help support grants and programs that empower women and girls to pursue their goals, overcome challenges, and create lasting change.

We are truly grateful for the businesses and organizations that choose to stand beside us and champion this important work. Your support makes a meaningful difference, and we could not do it without you.

Thank you for helping make Inspire 2026 such a success and for your commitment to empowering women and girls across the Southern Tier.
