Our 25th Anniversary Year
Reflection, Action, Celebration
new!
Starting Sept. 17, 2009, Chicago Foundation for Women launches its 25th anniversary year, a celebration which will continue until the 25th Annual Luncheon in the fall of 2010.
To start off the year, we made a list of 25 Things You Can Do to Make a Better World for Women and Girls--but our 25th item is blank. We need your help to fill it in! Fill out the survey below with your idea.
