This year’s Voices luncheon was sold out with 400+ guests, and because of you, we beat our $30,000 fundraising goal!

As you heard from our incredible speakers, Cecilia Garrett and LaTrice Currie, as well as our Executive Director, Melody Shekari, we are all advocates. Sometimes it’s working with our elected officials to affect legislation and policy (what the Women’s Fund is known for); other times we gather together to raise awareness and change policy, serve our community, and inspire others. As our honoree Dr. Enda Varner reminded us, "This room is full - full of women, walking among us disguised as mere mortals when you're actually superwomen." 

We also celebrated our $10,000 Women’s Fund Impact Grant winner this year: Chattanooga Room in the Inn. Each of the runners up, LifeSpring Community Health and The Momentum Network, received $5,000 to support their missions!
