For more than a century, Girls Inc. of Greater Lowell has been equipping girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers to grow-up healthy, educated, and independent. For decades, community supporters like you have come together at the Girls Inc. of Greater Lowell’s Holiday Auction to help ensure girls have a safe place to learn, thrive and become Lowell’s future leaders.
This year, we were hoping to transition back to an in-person Holiday Auction event, but due to some unforeseen issues with our building, we will once again host our Fuel Her Fire On-line Auction. Will you join us in inspiring girls in our communities to be Strong, Smart, and Bold? Please join us by becoming a sponsor and/or donating an item.
Your generous participation directly supports the day-to-day operations, in addition to helping ensure that girls continue to have access to a combination of long-lasting mentorships where they are empowered to achieve their dreams.
