Seven women. A lasting legacy.
The name, "Seven Pearls Foundation, Inc." honors the Seven of 1922, with each pearl representing one of these remarkable women and the lasting value of the legacy they left behind.
They were educators, leaders, mentors, professionals, and women who understood the importance of opening doors for others. Their lives reflected perseverance, education, leadership, service, and a commitment to creating opportunities for future generations.
Today, their stories continue to inspire our work. As an independent nonprofit organization, Seven Pearls Foundation looks for meaningful ways to carry those values forward through programs and initiatives that respond to the needs of today’s communities.
Seven women. Seven pearls. A legacy that continues to inspire.
