2023 COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN

Our mission is to build a powerful force of women philanthropists who develop financial resources, unite in service and are advocates for programs and initiatives that benefit children and their families in Shelby County.

We’re truly blessed to have the UW team that we do in Shelby County. As a business owner and resident of the community, I want to say Thank You to you and your team. The structure you provide through the many agencies you support makes a huge difference for so many.

The UW has always been there for Wilma Valentine Childcare. We started with a special projects grant, then became a partner agency and are now celebrating 30 years. The SCUW has high expectations for their partner agencies and we are so proud of our affiliation with them and all the partner agencies.
