Women in Business Leadership (BGSU) x Women's Fund of Central Ohio
About The Fundraiser:
Women in Business Leadership has a mission to empower, engage, connect, and promote women. However, with the current climate of our world, we felt the dyer need to extend our mission. This is when we reached out to the Women's Fund of Central Ohio, who works fiercely towards igniting social change for gender equality through direct grants to extensive research. There are hundreds of women-owned businesses in the state of Ohio that are in need. These women have not only had to overcome hardships based on gender inequality, but also due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Women in Business Leadership at BGSU sold four apparel items in which the profit from the fundraiser will be split between our organization and the Women's Fund of Central Ohio.
The fundraiser was a success, raising over $1,500 total! $1,000 was donated to the Women's Fund of Central Ohio, and $500 was put towards upcoming initiatives for Women in Business Leadership.
