Description

The Impact Dunbar Women’s Legacy Fund, founded by Karen Watson, and Tasheekia Perry Harris, was established in 2016 to empower young women and girls in the Dunbar community. Their newest initiative is Dreamville.

 Dreamville is a dream incubator powered by Impact Dunbar. Dreamville aims to help young ladies ages 12-17 develop their dreams, pitch funders, and experience their dreams in action. “We want our girls and young women to be exposed to experiences they wouldn’t have otherwise had,” Watson says. “How can you aspire to more if you haven’t been exposed to, or have the opportunities for, new experiences?”

 The founding contributors to the fund are dedicated to providing experiences to young women and girls that broaden their exposure to careers, opportunities, and community. The focus area for grant dollars from this fund will be targeted programs and opportunities that will build, inspire and challenge the women and girls who call Dunbar home to be their best. 
Join us to learn more about Impact Dunbar and how you can make a difference. This will be an opportunity for prospective funders to hear about the dreams of the young ladies and the unique experience non-profits want to create for them.
 Please arrive at 6 pm to chat and chew with sample delicious food and drinks created by local entrepreneurs from Dunbar. You will also get a chance to talk with the young women who are participating in Dreamville.  The program will begin promptly at 6:45 pm, so you want to have plenty of time to enjoy the food and conversation. ____
