Save the Date! INSPIRE 2023: June 13thA number of things were put on hold given the challenges we've all experienced from COVID, including Inspire, our annual fundraising dinner. This premier event has always been our biggest fundraising effort of the year, where the generosity of our donors really shines through - ensuring we have the funds we need to support the grant programs we've all built together.Though our endowment remains the sustainable source of our annual grant cycle funding, we've steadily expanded our grant programs to answer the ever-growing needs of girls and women in our community. It has been a difficult couple of years as we maintained our granting levels without this vital event to help us replenish our funding.That said, we are very excited to not only announce that this event will be returning in person at the Corning Museum of Glass on June 13, 2023, but we are also bursting to share that our original speaker for 2020, Eileen Collins, Retired Air Force Colonel and astronaut, first woman pilot and commander of a space shuttle, and Elmira native, has graciously accepted our invitation to join to us in 2023! Ticket and table information will be available soon. Keep watching this space for more information! ... See MoreSee Less
