Virtual Women of Distinction

On April 30, 2020, we held our annual Women of Distinction fundraising event virtually—due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 500 viewers enjoyed the event live from the comfort and safety of their homes.

Girl Scouts River Valleys honored two Girl Scouts as Young Women of Distinction, Huda and Sahana, whose exceptional leadership and service inspire others to achieve their own goals and dreams. We also recognized four outstanding women for their commitment to inspiring leadership and the Girl Scout mission.

Returning for the fifth year, emcee Roxane Battle, along with Girl Scouts River Valleys CEO Tish Bolger, carried out the program from a studio, speaking remotely with all honorees. Together, we recognized Girl Scouts River Valleys’ rapid response to the COVID-19 crisis, shared messages of hope, and celebrated the accomplishments of our Girl Scouts and our program over the last year.

More than $440,000 was raised by donors and event sponsors to support Girl Scouts—more than we have ever raised before. The Girl Scout community is as dedicated as ever to ensure our girl-led programs remain accessible to all girls.

“Above all, getting to interact with women in leadership positions has been the most memorable to me. It means the world to have the opportunity to see myself in leadership positions.” – GIRL SCOUT AMBASSADOR
