Learning from our fundraising experiences throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we are hosting a new virtual event, the Strong, Smart & Bold Celebration, on June 7, 2022 with the live event beginning at 8 PM.  This new event will focus on sharing the mission of Girls Inc of Kingsport – to inspire ALL girls to be Strong, Smart, and Bold - while celebrating attendees, volunteers, staff, and alumnae that live our mission every day.  We will invite the broader community to participate through volunteer opportunities, support of summer programming, girl adoptions or sponsorships, and an online auction.  In our past virtual events we’ve had about 300 people participate and we expect a similar number of attendees.  Our goal is to raise $20,000 with the online auction accounting for at least half this total.  All proceeds go directly to supporting the girls who attend Girls Inc. of Kingsport.
