SF Goodwill and Goodwill of the Greater East Bay celebrate our Trailblazing 8 Women on March 8th, International Women’s Day!
On International Women’s Day, we are proud to celebrate the incredible talent and contributions of our eight distinguished female board members—who collectively have turned vision into reality by championing the causes of underserved communities, giving the voiceless a voice, protecting the planet, and leading and scaling innovative brands and experiences.
Representing nearly half of our Board of Directors, our trailblazer eight come from all walks of life and have worked to inspire others through their creativity, passion, and dedication to Goodwill.
Join us today in honoring them by making a financial donation which will benefit our workforce development programs that include job placement and job training for those with barriers to employment. Your support allows us to help all those in our community who need us most and open doors to a better future.
