Brouse McDowell Sponsors Akron Community Foundation's "For Women, Forever" Annual Dinner
May 12, 2020
Brouse McDowell was a table sponsor at Akron Community Foundation’s “For Women, Forever” Annual Dinner. The virtual event took place on May 12. Attendees were delivered a full meal from appetizers to dessert, a bottle of wine, a bag of WEF memorabilia, treats from Smucker’s, and an event program, so they were able to dine and join together in the comfort of their own homes.
The dinner celebrates uplifting women and girls in our community. This year’s keynote speaker was Jill Penrose, Chief People & Administrative Officer at The J.M. Smucker Company. Sylvia D. Trundle was also presented with the 2020 Judith A. Read Tribute Award for Service & Advocacy for Women.
Proceeds go to the Women’s Endowment Fund which are used for programs that empower and educate women and girls throughout Summit County. To date, the Women’s Endowment Fund has awarded more than $1.2 million in grants to these programs.
