Year in Review
BOLD DREAMS BREAKFAST Dallas community leaders and Girls Inc. supporters joined together in the spring of 2022 for the inaugural Bold Dreams Breakfast. The breakfast celebrated our life-changing work and the individuals and organizations who enabled us to reach girls from some of the most under-resourced communities in Dallas. The event was co-hosted by Amy Stewart and Elizabeth Ramirez-Washka, and featured three-time Emmy Award winner and NBC 5's Today Show co-anchor Laura Harris. The successful event raised nearly $175,000 to fund Girls Inc. programming. As a special treat for the girls we serve, Laura Harris spent a day on-site experiencing our programs and interacting with girls face-to-face. SOFI - SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT
