Dear Friends,

The YWC was founded on October 14, 1921, with its purpose “to promote among the younger women of Louisville, an active involvement and intelligent interest in culture and civic affairs in the community.” Through a combination of social, volunteer, and fundraising activities the YWC seeks to fulfill its mission of improving the quality of lives of its members and the community. Each year 100% of the money raised through our Charity Campaign Drive and Charity Ball, fund the grant requests of local agencies. In 2008, the YWC was honored to be able to donate over $70,000.00 to 21 charities.

We welcome your involvement with the YWC.

Membership is open to women in the Kentuckiana area between the ages of 21 and 45. An informational meeting for prospective members will be held June 19, 2008. Contact membership Chairman, Marcie Hughes at ywc@ywclouisville.org for more information.

Financial contributions can be made to our Charity Campaign Drive. Patrons can be assured that the YWC follows a stringent grant award process, which includes an in-person interview and on-site visit with each agency requesting funding. Contact Lynn Hillebrand, Charity Campaign Chairman at charitycampaign@ywclouisville.org to contribute.

Our annual fundraiser, the Charity Ball, tentatively scheduled for February 28, 2009, will include dinner, dancing, and a fabulous silent auction. For more information, contact ball@ywclouisville.org.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our organization. We look forward to learning more about you. Contact us soon.
