United Way hosts 10th Women’s Legacy Awards Gala
Four of Gwinnett’s leading women philanthropists to be honored
On Friday, March 28, the United Way’s Women’s Leadership Council in Gwinnett will host the 10th Women’s Legacy Awards Gala at the Sonesta Gwinnett Place, 6 p.m. The event is a fundraiser and will include a reception and dinner.
According to Demetrius Jordan, United Way’s regional director for Gwinnett, DeKalb and Fulton counties, “The awards have become a signature event in this community in which Gwinnett-based business leaders and volunteers come together to honor women that donate their time, talent and treasure to improve the lives of their neighbors. This year, we are working to expand positive, sustainable change in three key areas: health, income and homelessness,” Jordan said.
In addition, Sarah Henning of Grayson High School and Kristin Nicole Townley of Lanier High School will receive Rising Star awards, which recognize youth who have made an impact in the community through service, leadership and volunteerism.
Gwinnett Medical Center is the Presenting Sponsor. Other sponsors include Metro Waterproofing, Inc. and Primerica, Inc.
