This Is What 40 Looks Like!

Girls Inc. girls benefit from a 40th anniversary year filled with milestones
By Pat Wachtel, President & CEO

What does 40 look like? Girls Inc. of Greater Indianapolis has asked ourselves this very question for the past 12 months, and we've discovered that 40 has many "faces" for local girls. Here are some examples of what we've seen during this milestone year:
  • 40 Girls Inc. young alumnae boldly speaking out about their lives and futures;

  • 40 Touchstone honorees inspiring women of all ages to be strong, smart, and boldSM;

  • 42 women answering the call to serve local girls by applying to volunteer during our recent "40 Volunteers in 40 Days" campaign; and

  • 47 program partners seeing positive changes in their girls who complete Girls Inc.'s educational, empowering programs.
