GGF raises big bucks
GREENSBORO — The Guilford Green Foundation’s 4th Annual Women’s Party, held on Feb. 11 at Studio B, raised more than $43,000 to benefit grant programs for the Triad’s LGBT community. Over 190 women were in attendance.
“Events like this make it possible for Guilford Green Foundation to continue to support the Triad LGBT community through grants and other awareness efforts,” said co-chair Minita Sanghvi (pictured). “Thanks to these women, we not only exceeded our fundraising goal, but it cast a spotlight on the good work of this organization.”
The Women’s Party was created to engage, attract and retain women donors and serves as the Foundation’s only women’s donor cultivation event. It also serves as a community building and networking/socializing event for the Triad community — specifically for lesbian, bisexual, transgender and allied women. Sanghvi was joined by Melissa Greer who also served as co-chair.
