Ripley County Community Foundation’s 20th Annual Women in Philanthropy Fundraising Event supports and empowers women to follow their philanthropic passions. A luncheon event brings together women of all ages, economic backgrounds and professions who have desires to improve the quality of life for our most needy. This event is a time for local women to identify and discuss local needs, to form coalitions and to locate resources needed to address the identified needs. One highlight of the event is when the attendees elect which project shall receive the annual grant from the Lin Phaneuf Fund. For sponsorships or memberships, contact the Ripley County Community Foundation. Silent auction and basket raffle. Proceeds benefit local women and children.
