Celebrating 20 Years!

A grassroots effort led by six visionary, compassionate women in 1992 has developed into a grantmaking fund that has raised over $5.4 million used to enrich current and future programs serving women and children in the greater Spokane area. The collaboration between corporate sponsors, Pioneer Circle members, table captains, generous donors and community volunteers is a reason to celebrate! Please join us at our 20th annual fundraising luncheon on May 21, 2012 at 12 noon at the Spokane Convention Center.

Making the Smart Choice for 2012 Keynote Speaker

The selection of 2012 luncheon keynote speaker Elizabeth Smart was announced to the membership of the Pioneer Circle on October 26, 2011 (see Elizabeth's video greeting). The Women Helping Women Fund speaker committee spent several months working to bring in a speaker whose message makes a direct connection to the WHWF mission. Choosing a speaker whose work addresses serious issues in the world and whose story will inspire and empower the audience were also high priorities.

Abducted as a teen, Elizabeth’s example and life now is a daily demonstration that there really is life after a tragic event.  She not only tells her story, but also discusses overcoming extreme adversity and not allowing your past to dictate your life's future. The May 21, 2012 luncheon celebrates the 20-year milestone of WHWF’s mission to empower women and children to create healthy families and vibrant communities.
