Pearls with a Passion

Pearls is a way for women of all ages and backgrounds to get involved with giving. Through the donor society, members help grow and direct the Pearls with a Passion fund. All Pearls are invited to an annual dinner, where together they determine the area of grantmaking for the year ahead.
