We gathered nearly 600 people for an inspiring luncheon at the Meadows Event Center in Altoona, Iowa on May 17, 2024! A celebration of 26 years of honoring women who inspire with kindness and lead with purpose, we enjoyed a dynamic program from our 2024 honoree, Carol Bodensteiner, and our keynote speaker Teri Hughes-Paulline, LISW, who emphasized the critical importance of mental health care in their own lives. They highlighted the significant impact that proper mental health support can have on individuals and communities.
The event successfully raised over $287,000, which will greatly contribute to the mission of the Center in providing essential mental health services to women, children and families in need. The funds raised enable the Center to expand its programs, reach more individuals, and make a lasting difference in the lives of those struggling with mental health challenges.
Thank you to our 2024 sponsors and donors for supporting our 26th annual Women Helping Women luncheon!
