AWF, acting as a convener, educator, and funder, plays a crucial role in enabling more women and girls to lead safe, economically self-sufficient, and vibrant lives. The foundation has supported organizations that improve the lives of economically vulnerable women and girls in metro Atlanta for over 25 years.

The event will support the “All Girls Forward” initiative, focusing on empowering girls experiencing poverty through education, mental and physical health, and pregnancy prevention.
