Our Annual Report
Message from our President…
|
Dear Junior League of Fresno Members, Partners, and Friends, As we close the 2024–2025 League year, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for all we have achieved together. This year has been a testament to the strength, passion, and commitment of our members, and a reflection of the real and lasting impact we make when we act with purpose. Over the past year, we raised nearly $5,000 to support women and children, completed eight Done-in-a-Day projects, and dedicated more than 74 volunteer hours to directly serving local women and children. Our members provided homemade meals to families at Terry’s House and Ronald McDonald House, assembled 25 Essential Needs Baskets for the Marjaree Mason Center, and awarded Cen Cal Sports our 2024–2025 Community Grant. We invested in the future by raising $12,100 for scholarships and awarding $550 scholarships to 22 outstanding student-athletes through our Senior Girl Athlete program. Through Super Saturdays, we trained 7 volunteers, welcomed them as new members, and strengthened our leadership pipeline by sponsoring our myself and our President-Elect, Sarah Montes, to attend the Annual AJLI Conference. Each of these accomplishments reflects not only our commitment to meaningful community impact, but our mission to develop women as civic leaders. Whether through volunteer service, fundraising, or leadership development, your contributions have shaped a powerful year of progress. Thank you for your dedication, your energy, and your belief in the mission of the Junior League of Fresno. I am proud of everything we have built together, and I am filled with excitement for what lies ahead. |
