March of Dimes Heroines of Washington Awards

WGB is honored that March of Dimes has selected 3 of our own as Heroines of Washington Awards finalists, which honors women who go above and beyond their professional responsibilities to make a sustained impact on their communities through service efforts.

The March of Dimes Heroines of Washington Awards Gala is one of Washington’s most esteemed events, recognizing professional women in the D.C. Metro Area for their dedication to community service.

Since 2001, the March of Dimes has honored 111 “heroines” and raised more than $2.8 million to make sure one day all babies are born full-term and healthy.

WGB is being recognized for our work with survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence on October 21, 2018, at the 4th installment of Purple Runway, an annual fashion show event and fundraiser produced by Kamisol Style Consultancy CEO, Gigi McMillan.

Purple Runway has worked with local and national organizations over the years to help increase support for Domestic Violence victims. WGB will be presented with the 2018 Community Champion Award for our work in our communities.

Together We Give Event hosted by the Giving Circle of HOPE

Giving Circle of Hope's Together We Give is both a celebration of the circle's mission to create positive change and an opportunity to introduce the community to the power of collective giving.

This serves as a great reminder of our impact and difference we all make at WGB.

Women Giving Back was one of three nonprofits featured and we received over $1k from the evening’s proceeds.

Loudoun County Public Schools

Great meeting with the WGB Outreach Committee and Loudoun County Public School's Outreach Services Supervisor, Grant Schafer and several LCPS Parent liaisons.  LCPS Parent Liaisons help bridge the gap between home and school by providing parents with the resources and support they need to ensure their child's academic and social success. We look forward to working together this school year.

Christian Mission in Ghana

Transformed Life Ministries (TLM) has been in existence for the past 35 years in Ghana, West Africa. TLM in collaboration with WGB's Community Distribution Partner, GAP Ministries (USA) have embarked on Outreach work in villages in Ghana through the distribution of clothing to the poor and needy.

They have realized that relationship with churches and ministries like GAP Ministries (USA) is a vital part of this ministry and the entire Body of Christ. They believe that relationship is not an option, but mandatory for yielding results in life and ministry, and together can make a difference in our cities, nation and the entire world for our Lord and Master Jesus Christ.

Teamwork and a network of international partners is what makes the Ministries' outreach successful.
