When a tiny pebble is thrown into a pond, it breaks the water's surface, sending ripples throughout. When philanthropists and social service organizations collaborate, a similar progression begins.
Chicago Foundation for Women invites you to celebrate the effectiveness of philanthropy and its magnitude at our Ripple Effect Awards Reception: Thursday, Jan. 27, 4:30-6:30 p.m., Sears Tower, 233 S. Wacker Dr., 33rd Floor ( Lincoln Ballroom ) .
Through the Ripple Effect Award, the Foundation recognizes women and girls among its grantee constituents who illustrate the triumph of women and girls when given opportunity.
