United Way’s annual Power of the Purse

Description

An Afternoon of Extraordinary Impact Awaits! 
Each year hundreds of individuals come together to improve the lives of our local children at United Way’s annual Power of the Purse. Presented by Women United, the luncheon celebrates women leaders who are making a difference in their local communities and raises critical funds in support of Success By 6®, United Way's early childhood development initiative. 

The event will feature a discussion on the Power of Philanthropy in early childhood education with keynote speaker, Cecilia Zalkind, president and CEO of Advocates for Children of New Jersey. Understanding how and where to invest in young children, we empower the next generation of learners, leaders and achievers.
