On Thursday, April 8, more than 750 supporters made a difference for women and girls in their own backyard by joining friends at the Fund for Women and Girls 11th Annual Luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich.
Gail Collins,
The New York Times op-ed columnist and author, charmed guests with her witty, insightful and provocative remarks on the challenges women have overcome in the past 50 years.
Loreta Daka, a single mother and student in the Family Economic Security Program, brought the guests to tears as she thanked them for making it possible for her to get the business education she will need to open her own flower shop and support herself and her two children. (See
Loreta's Story)
This year’s luncheon theme, “Charting the Path to Possibility,” highlighted the power of helping women overcome obstacles and turn their dreams into reality. When you help a woman improve her life, you also set in motion positive change for her children, her extended family, her community and society.
