Valentine's Day Give-A-Thon 2007 Going for the GOAL

2007 Going for the GOAL Luncheon

This annual event honors those individuals who have demonstrated commitment to the development of strong, competent and resilient women and girls.

This year's Going for the GOAL illustrated GOAL's phenomenal growth: the 50% increase in attendance necessitated a move from last year's venue to a larger space at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. A record number of GOAL supporters signed on as Host Committee members, individual sponsors, and corporate sponsors.

This year's luncheon honored:

• Eve Ensler, the award-winning playwright and activist

• Stacey Abrams, Georgia State Representative and CEO of Sage Works, LLC

• BryAnn Chen, Executive Director of the Refugee Women's Network

• Cy Strickler, Founder and Executive Director of Tophat Soccer Club

• Gretchen Collings, Program Manager for Raytheon and recipient of the Founder's Award

Honorees each received original artwork by Gail Foster of StudioSwan.

GOAL would like to thank everyone in attendance for making this year's luncheon a huge success!
