Thank You for Making the 10th Annual Tribute Luncheon a Success!

Celebrating Women Annual Tribute Luncheon
Amplifying Voices and Raising HOPE

Record breaking attendance - thank you for making it happen!

The 2008 Tribute Luncheon marked the 10th anniversary of the Women’s Foundation’s opportunity to share our work with stories of inspiration and HOPE. The generosity from corporations, foundations and individual patrons and our greater Memphis community has made the Luncheon a hot ticket event with nearly 1400 attendees. The Luncheon celebration not only focused on the achievements of the Foundation, it acknowledged the accomplishments of our grantee partners during a special video presentation. “It is their achievements that reflect our effectiveness as a grant-maker and advocate for social change, “stated Ruby Bright, executive director. Directed by our mission we want to raise the awareness of the need for grant-making to programs serving women and children. This year's event also sought to highlight the success of our donors’ investment in our work, recognize women's leadership and contributions and to inspire our attendees with hope for a better community.  With our final Tribute Album, we sought to honor extraordinary women in our lives as well as all women that have ever been featured in the Tribute Album.

There’s something new in the air …

This year’s Tribute Luncheon marked the end of a time-honored tradition, the annual Tribute Album. This was a means by which special women in our lives could be honored. Beginning with the 2009 Tribute Luncheon, the Foundation will annually give out an international award known as the Legends Award. We would love to have you join us in continuing to celebrate extraordinary women around the world!
