Fundraising Efforts Impact Non-profit Beneficiaries: Victory Therapy Center

Since it's inception, the Greater Keller Women's Club Foundation, through the support and volunteerism by members of the Greater Keller Women's Club, has donated more than ONE MILLION dollars to local non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations representing women, children and the elderly within the Northeast Tarrant County area through a grant application and review process, as well as scholarships to graduating Keller ISD seniors. 

Victory Therapy Center, located in Roanoke, TX is a prior grant recipient made possible through the Annual Garden of Roses Fundraiser. This short video is just one example of the difference the Foundation has been proud to provide. 

Sponsorships and donations of product or services from area businesses and the Greater Keller Women's Club members to the annual Garden of Roses Fundraiser make this possible.

We're grateful for the community's support and look forward to providing continued funding to area organizations, such as Victory Therapy Center, and scholarships to Keller ISD graduating seniors.

For more information about sponsorships, donations or how to attend the event, please contact GardenofRosesChair@gkwc.org or visit the website at www.gkwc.org. Tickets to the Saturday, April 2, 2016 Champagne Brunch & Auction at the Texas Motor Speedway may be purchased by emailing Reservations@gkwc.org or online at https://gkwc.ejoinme.org/tickets.
