Women’s Fund Luncheon
Women (and Allies) Who Support Other Women
Knowing that every win for a woman is a step forward for us all, our signature Women’s Fund Luncheon is the largest fundraiser event in the Fox Valley and an empowering voice for women and girls in our community. The Women’s Fund Luncheon highlights and fuels the work that we do, uplifting women and girls in our community to reach their limitless potential. With urgency and heartfelt storytelling, we spark hope, inspire action and nurture change.
Thank you to our 2026 Luncheon Speakers!
We’re so thankful to have had three incredible women on the stage this year to share their story at the 2026 Luncheon.
These women have journeyed through life wanting better for other women. Their experiences have inspired them to use their voice to advocate for others who have been in their situation.
A huge thank you to,
- Alex Klippel, Starting Point graduate and mother who told her story of finding belonging.
- Laura Bell, an Electrician by trade and an advocate for women in construction by choice who shared her story of being a woman in a male-dominated field.
- Taylor Vande Vyver, a mother who knew we could do better for our kids and child care centers and chose to be a voice for change.
Please check back! A recording of the Luncheon and photos will be posted soon!
Thank you to our generous sponsors!
