We are kicking off our 70 for 70 Campaign with a goal of raising $70,000 to continue the mission of America's Distinguished Young Women in honor of our 70th anniversary.

Our focus for the first 70 days is to jumpstart this campaign and see how far we can go together to achieving our goal.

How about if 84 people donated $70 a month to DVW? That’s only $840 annually.
