Thank you Star-Telegram for recognizing GKWC Foundation with the following article published June 25, 2017.
Hard work has its own rewards and perhaps none greater than seeing others benefit from the fruits of your labor. The hardworking members of the Greater Keller Women’s Club collectively experienced the thrill of seeing the results of their past year’s work recently at the annual gathering to hand out money to local charities and to local graduating seniors.
An impressive $75,000 was awarded to 10 local nonprofit organizations and to a dozen Keller students heading off to college by the GKWC Foundation at the annual Distribution of Funds celebration at Sky Creek Ranch Golf Club.
The Foundation was established in 1996 as the giving arm of the women’s club and since then, through the club’s annual fundraising efforts along with generous community donors, they have awarded $1.3 million in grants and scholarships. President of the foundation is Janna Clarke.
“The Distribution of Funds Dinner is one of the happiest events we hold annually,” said GKWC President Caroline Sherman. “The room is filled with smiles as volunteers watch local charities and graduating high school seniors express their gratitude for the funding.”
