Girls' Giving Fund Launch 2020
We’re kicking off the 3rd year of the Girls’ Giving Fund! Last year the 28 members of the Girls’ Giving Fund raised over $3,000 to give away. They became young entrepreneurs and incubators of ideas that turned into action for the good of the community. These young women put their all into being able to give back! This year, the need will be even greater. We’re hoping to encourage more young women that they can help make a difference and be part of the solution.
Here are some different ways the girls raised funds in 2019. What will the girls come up with this year? :) We can't wait to see!
If you or someone you know is interested in joining the Girls' Giving Fund, visit our website for next steps https://www.pccf.gives/girlsgivingfund.
