2010 What She's Made Of Event

The 2010 "What She's Made Of" Celebration with Emmy-Award winning journalist, Cokie Roberts, was a tremendous success!   The event was led by Co-chairs, Melissa Nowak and Lisa Walsh, along with a fabulous committee.  In addition, we would also like to thank our Honorary Chairs - Sue and John Hoskins. More than 500 guests gathered at Kleinhans to hear Ms. Roberts, raising more than $140,000 - a 33% increase in revenue from last year!  We are extremely grateful to Ms. Roberts, who graciously donated her services and who went above and beyond all of our expectations with her enlightening keynote presentation. She focused on the efficacy of women's funds across the globe and the need to support women and girls in WNY.  We would also like to express our gratitude to Jodi Johnston, host of WGRZ Daybreak who was a dynamic emcee for the program.
