On November 12, we gathered for our 20th annual luncheon, a powerful tribute to the voices, visions, and leadership shaping brighter futures for women and girls in our community.

This year’s theme, Honoring Our Legacy, Igniting Our Future, came to life through an inspiring keynote from Chevara Orrin, who shared global stories of collective care, resilience, and responsibility—reminding us that none of us are free until all of us are free.

We also honored our incredible 2025 grantee partners, whose work continues to remove barriers, advance economic security, and expand equitable opportunities for women and girls across Forsyth County.

Thank you to every member, partner, and supporter who makes this movement possible. Here’s to the next 20 years of impact. 💜
