Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders
A fundraiser for GFWC Women's Club of Indian River
$400 raised from 6 donors
$1,000 goal
While the GFWC Women’s Club of Indian River (WCIR) volunteers in many areas within the community, our focus for 2025 Giving Tuesday is our inaugural scholarship program for graduating high school seniors attending a school with the geographic area of the Indian River School District. Our mission is to give back to the community and our goal is to ensure that we can sustain the scholarship program in coming years. Awarding a scholarship to a graduating senior who is committed to their studies, volunteerism and leadership, we hope to foster future community leaders.
