| Dear WGC Donors & Friends, |
The WGC's Circle Team at the Iron Girl was a great success! Thanks to all those involved in raising funds for the WGC through this great event.
Thank you for your generosity the last few months as you have helped a number of women and their families through the WGC's Response Network. Your philanthropy is to be celebrated. And, speaking of celebrating, the first SHERO Awards take place tomorrow, Monday, October 15 at the Lyric Opera House - an event celebrating women's philanthropy in Maryland. It's not to late to join us and view a performance by Queen Latifah! Learn more and purchase tickets.

| WGC's "Circle Team" a Success! |
The WGC's Circle Team - Iron Girl Triathlon
Swimming, Biking, Running ... Inspiring, Giving!
The WGC's Circle Team at this year's Iron Girl Triathlon in Columbia was a huge success! Twenty two team racers inspired over $3,000 in contributions that will be matched by another $3,000 from the Columbia Triathlon Association!
The WGC Circle Team's motto of "Swimming, Biking, Running, Inspiring, Giving" was felt throughout the race, as the racers proudly wore their WGC racing shirts. A special thanks goes to WGC donor Maura Dunnigan, who was profiled on Fox45 TV and on the Iron Girl website regarding the WGC Circle Team's efforts.
Congratulations to the WGC Circle Team for a terrific race and for not only raising $6,000 for the WGC, but for raising awareness of the importance of giving by strong women!
