On behalf of the girls we serve, we would like to thank our sponsors, guests, donors, board members, and staff for helping raise funds and host a successful event!
All proceeds raised will help support our STEAM-based programs and ensure that more girls have access to learning about technology and engineering through hands-on projects.
Please stay tuned for more details regarding our event.
