Words from a Faithful Friend

“I’m fortunate to work for a company that encourages and matches charitable giving through our time and resources. Each year, it was my goal to give back to a new organization. As the years go by, I continue to give to BIO Girls. As a past mentor and parent of a participant, I know how important BIO Girls is and truly believe every girl needs the programming. I’m proud to give to BIO Girls each and every month knowing my donation is making a difference in the lives of countless young girls in my community.”

– Caryn | BIO Girls Faithful Friend
