 The 9th Annual Teaming Up For Kids Luncheon was a tremendous success, generating a record $574,000! Keynote speaker Bill Walton made a slam dunk with his motivational words of wisdom, sharing lessons learned through a brilliant career, his focus on teamwork and ability
to overcome adversity. HOPE Award recipient Gerda Weissmann Klein inspired guests with her powerful story of surviving the Holocaust. Her message of tolerance, hope, respect for others and the empowerment of
students through education and community service touched everyone in the room.
This event raises money to help further our mission of providing every girl whose life we touch safety, hope and opportunity. Through the support of our donors and more than 900 attendees, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of at-risk girls. Thanks to an outpouring of generosity, the event was our most successful to date. Our heartfelt thanks to our event co-chairs, committee members, board of directors, donors, sponsors, volunteers and staff who worked diligently to make this event successful.
Plans are already underway for an equally, if not more, successful 10th Annual Teaming
Up For Kids Luncheon. Please save the date for March, 1, 2012 and be sure to join us next year!
