The Women of Distinction Awards program is our premier fundraising event for Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama. First celebrated in 1976, the event has grown to include four luncheons within our Council area. Each awards luncheon honors local women who have made significant contributions in their professions and their communities.
Proceeds from the Women of Distinction events directly support the Girl Scouts’ mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place, and your financial support will be used to keep Girl Scouting strong throughout North-Central Alabama.
There are over 15,000 Girl Scouts in North-Central Alabama. It costs approximately $325 to provide a whole year’s worth of opportunities and volunteer support for each Girl Scout in our community. Through fundraising events like the Women of Distinction Awards, we can achieve our mission of developing leadership, decision-making skills and commitment to community in this generation of girls.
