 Women Helping Women Fund's May 10, 2010 fundraising luncheon will feature "Homeless to Harvard" student Liz Murray. Murray will share her incredible story of triumph over adversity. Her story is exhilarating and her delivery innocently honest, as she takes the audience on a very personal journey where she achieves the improbable.
The 18th annual luncheon will be held at the Spokane Convention Center, 334 W. Spokane Falls Blvd., Group Health Exhibit Hall, Spokane, Washington. The doors will open for social time at 11:30 a.m and the program will run from 12:00 noon - 1:30 p.m. If you are interested in becoming a table captain for a table of 10, click for instructions and the link to our registration form.

Luncheon guests make a minimum donation of $125 and money raised at the event is donated directly to programs managed by Spokane County non-profit agencies. They are selected during a grant application process. Women Helping Women Fund screens the applications and targets well-run programs designed to meet the most urgent needs of women and children in Spokane.
Since 1992, thanks to gifts from thousands of individual and corporate donors, more than 305 local agency programs have received grants from Women Helping Women totaling more than $3.8 million.
WHWF's annual fundraising luncheons have drawn nearly 30,000 people to hear speakers such as Madame Jehan Sadat, Gloria Steinem, Lisa Ling, Jeannette Walls and Jean Chatzky.
