Celebrate the resilient women of the WomenGive program: mothers, students, advocates, dreamers and leaders
United Way of Larimer County will host the 18th Annual WomenGive Luncheon on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024, from 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. This free luncheon will celebrate the determination and growth of WomenGive scholarship recipients who rose to meet the challenges of motherhood and higher education.
“For more than 18 years, WomenGive has led the charge in providing support and financial assistance through childcare scholarships to single mothers pursuing postsecondary education,” says Joy Sullivan, president and CEO of United Way of Larimer County. “The average cost of childcare in Larimer County is $1,277 per month, per child. Affordable childcare is a challenge in our community and a pillar of our work.”
Attendees of the luncheon will enjoy an inspiring program with several speakers, including Joy Sullivan, Lauren Casteel from the Women’s Foundation of Colorado, WomenGive Co-Chairs Farra Lanzer and Stacey McBride, WomenGive scholarship recipients and representatives from WomenGive’s mission sponsors.
“As the new year begins, we are excited to work alongside our scholarship recipients and champion their perseverance. WomenGive scholarships are made possible by a membership network of hundreds of generous community members dedicated to supporting single mothers pursuing higher education,” says Cecilia, WomenGive program manager. “People want to make a difference, and the WomenGive program at United Way of Larimer County shows that when we come together, we can do more than any one of us alone.”
Join United Way of Larimer County and celebrate the many accomplishments the WomenGive scholarship recipients have achieved in the last year. The WomenGive Luncheon is free to attend thanks to the generosity of our mission sponsors: FirstBank, The Group, Nutrien, UCHealth and Green & Gold Guard Volleyball Players. Registration and more information is available at: 18th Annual WomenGive Luncheon.
