Women's Fund Annual Luncheon
Register Now!
Registration is open for the 15th annual Women's Fund Luncheon on Thursday, September 10 at the Radisson Paper Valley Hotel. Make your reservation today to secure a spot. The cost is $50/seat or $500/table of ten. Visit the Women's Fund website for all the details and to register online.
Liz Murray will be the featured speaker at this year's event. Her book, Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard, is an international bestseller and the subject of an Emmy nominated Lifetime Television film, From Homeless to Harvard.
Her life is an example of the importance of dreaming big. As the child of cocaine-addicted parents in the Bronx, her life was bitterly grim. There was never food in the house, everything was filthy, drugs were everywhere, and the welfare checks were spent before they arrived.
Murray is passionate about speaking on the importance of personal motivation, transforming problems into opportunities, and what it takes to make a difference in people's lives. We hope you will join us to hear her inspirational message.
Contact Jen Peeters at 920.830-1290 ext. 37 if you have any questions regarding the Women's Fund Luncheon.
