Girlfriend Factor

10/08/2026

As Girlfriend Factor continues to celebrate our 20th anniversary, there is nothing we are more proud of than the incredible women who have allowed us to be a part of their journey.

For the past 20 years we’ve been fortunate enough to watch over 250 grant recipients go back to school, earn their degrees, start new careers, provide for their families, give back to our local community and prove that "It is never too late to become the person you were meant to be".

On November 13th, we’re bringing our community together for our biggest fundraiser of the year, our GoGirl! Luncheon: The Power of Her Impact and we can’t wait to celebrate the women who are at the heart of everything we do. When you purchase a ticket, you’re doing more than joining us for lunch. You’re helping provide educational grants and support directly to local women working toward a better future.

Come celebrate 20 years of GFF with us and help us make a difference in these women’s lives. 💙💚

🎟️ Get your tickets and join us November 13th!
