Power of the Purse Luncheon

Highights from our 20th Annual Power of the Purse Luncheon

On April 24, we held our 20th Annual Power of the Purse Luncheon – where we celebrated our past, present, and future – specifically all of the amazing individuals and partners who support positive change for Fond du Lac area women and girls.

At its heart, this signature event of the Fond du Lac Area Women’s Fund is about networking with incredible community members and engaging in collective philanthropy at a joyful event where our positive impact on the local community is celebrated. Save the date for next year – April 23, 2024.
