Our community is the backbone of our work... because of that, we wanted to express our gratitude for our partnership with Burns & McDonnell 👏

Building strong partnerships is about more than workplace campaigns, it’s about connecting with employees, engaging teams, sharing our mission, and having a little fun along the way ✨

Thank you, Burns & McDonnell, for welcoming us and helping us make a difference in our community together.

In honor of Women United’s 20th 10 for 10 Class, 24 women stepped up to be part of a special Anniversary Class. Their support was invested between the Women United Endowment Fund and Pitch for a Purpose ✨

Since its launch in 2006, the 10 for 10 program continues to inspire women throughout our community to become impactful philanthropists. Traditionally, ten women each commit $10,000 directly supporting the Women United Endowment Fund.

We'd like to give a special shoutout to Terrie Edwards and Vicky Gray for committing to advancing solutions that empower women to transform lives 👏 Terrie has been involved with our organization since 2008, and also served on the Women United Global Leadership Council. Vicky has been a dedicated volunteer for over 40 years, recently completing a six-year term on the Women United Board.

Women from across South Hampton Roads came together for "Her Service. Her Story," hosted by America's Warrior Partnership ♥️ We were grateful to provide the space - both mentally, and physically - for this event.

Over dinner, stories, experiences, and perspectives, attendees shared what it means to navigate life and resources as a woman veteran in our community.

We know women veterans can face unique challenges and barriers - it's understanding and listening to those experiences that shapes the future and keeps the conversation going 💪

The conversation doesn't end here. If your organization supports women veterans in the South Hampton Roads community, and you'd like to join us for future events, please visit https://bit.ly/3UnqgsZ.

🤝 Local Connections: They match you directly with a nearby community clinic that can help.
✔️ No Guesswork: You get clear choices so you know exactly where to go.

There is no confusing paperwork. Just answer a few quick questions to find a clinic close to home.

We had a blast at the New Educator Orientation Vendor Fair for Chesapeake Public Schools!

We're thankful to be invited back every year to welcome all of the amazing new educators in the South Hampton Roads area! Thanks to our partners at REACH Reading Enriches All Children, we were able to provide teachers with brand-new books to fill their classrooms! 📚

Together, we can continue this work to ensure every child has the opportunity to THRIVE in our community.
