The mission of Girls Inc. is one that is near and dear to my heart. I proudly serve on the board and see firsthand how this national organization is committed to educating and inspiring girls to be strong, smart, and bold right here at home.

Girls Inc., A Legacy of Greatness Looking to the Future

For over 50 years, the Owensboro-Daviess County affiliate has enriched the lives of amazing young women, creating a community of support where they're encouraged to step out of their comfort zones and blossom into their best selves. The only way we can continue for another 50 years is with your support. But don't worry, we put the "fun" in fundraiser.

Human Slot Machines

We're also gonna have some Human Slot Machines set up to win prizes. I'm not quite sure what that entails, but I know I will be hanging out in a big box of some sort at some point! "Pull the lever," and see if I hand out a "jackpot!"

Girls Inc. of Owensboro-Daviess County Transforms Lives

Because Girls Inc. seeks to enrich girls in every aspect of life. Creative programming focuses on the importance of mental health, physical health, emotional health, education, confidence, life skills, and the list goes on. The value this organization has in our community and beyond cannot be measured, but when you meet a Girls Inc. girl, or when you hear someone share stories about the mission, you understand.

Win Passes to Girls Inc Red on the River Casino Night

I'm actually going to give you a chance to win two passes to the Red on the River Casino Night. They won't be eligible for the raffle as that chance is reserved for folks buying tickets. We just want you to come, have a blast, learn more about this wonderful organization, and maybe bid on a silent auction item or two if you can't resist! *wink wink!

I will announce the winner on the show Monday morning, so just fill out this form and cross your fingers.

“As society sees what women can do, as women see what women can do, there will be more women out there doing things, and we’ll all be better off for it.”  — Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, “Women in Power”

LOOK: Milestones in women's history from the year you were born

Women have left marks on everything from entertainment and music to space exploration, athletics, and technology. Each passing year and new milestone makes it clear both how recent this history-making is in relation to the rest of the country, as well as how far we still need to go. The resulting timeline shows that women are constantly making history worthy of best-selling biographies and classroom textbooks; someone just needs to write about them.

Scroll through to find out when women in the U.S. and around the world won rights, the names of women who shattered the glass ceiling, and which country's women banded together to end a civil war.
