We were thrilled to kick off Year Two of the Women’s Fund of East Tennessee’s Circle of 100 aboard The Sensation this Sunday, hosted by Nyda Brook, WFET Board Member, and Dr. Bill Smith!

Together with friends, supporters, and fellow champions for low-income girls, women, and their families across East Tennessee, we celebrated the power of giving and the impact we can make together.  As we look ahead to another incredible year, we are so grateful for the generosity and enthusiasm of those who make this work possible.

A special thank you to all who attended in support and especially Nyda and Bill for graciously hosting us and helping make the afternoon so memorable!

Celebrating the one and only Lori Tucker as she closes out an incredible career at WATE after 33 incredible years! It’s hard to put into words just how much she means to all of us and to East Tennessee. Lori has been a vital part of our community and a deeply cherished leader in our organization. From emceeing our luncheons for the past eight years to serving on our board, she has spent decades informing, inspiring, and uplifting women across our region. Her commitment to giving back is the heart of her work, and she has always used her platform to help, serve, and lift up those around her. Lori, you are a true inspiration! We are so thankful for your friendship and support and are so excited to be a part of your next chapter. We wish you the happiest retirement filled with rest, fun, and all the joy you’ve given to so many!

🦋 On the first 9.25 Dolly Day, we honor her and the lasting legacy of generosity she has built right here in East Tennessee by investing in people, creating opportunity, and strengthening the community we call home.

At the Women’s Fund, we proudly carry her in our spirit by investing in women, girls, and their families across East Tennessee, helping create pathways to self-sufficiency through education and opportunity.

Dolly has shown us by example that when you are blessed, you give back.

Today, we celebrate Dolly’s legacy and the powerful difference one person can make when they choose to lift others up 🧡

Your gift goes full circle. ❤️
Last year, members of the Circle of 100 came together to raise over $100,000, and that money went straight back into our East Tennessee community, supporting nonprofits that are creating opportunities for low-income women, girls, and families to build more self-sustaining futures.
From supporting girls in school and helping families avoid homelessness to providing counseling and mentorship for single mothers, your generosity made a difference right here at home.
Now, the Circle of 100 is back for Year Two.
A new year. The same vision. An even greater impact.
Join the Circle of 100 today: https://womensfundetn.org/circle-of-100/
