You can never underestimate the power of giving. This year, we set a lofty $150,000 goal for our annual appeal. Funds raised help us provide essential grants to Waukesha area agencies providing programs that support the Health, Well-being, Education and Empowerment of Women and Girls in our community. To help us make this goal a reality, Karie and Tom Stupek have generously energized our fundraising efforts by offering a $50,000 challenge grant. From now until the end of January, every dollar donated to the Women and Girls Fund will be matched one for one up to a total of $50,000. If you have not yet made a tax-deductible donation, please consider the WGF in your charitable giving plans. If you have already made a gift, we thank you for your support. Together, we can change lives, one grant at a time.
