Author’s Tea 2025
What a beautiful afternoon of inspiration, community, and purpose!
Our Author’s Tea at the Chado Tea Room was a resounding success, and we’re still glowing from the energy and connection shared in the room. A heartfelt thank you to Vanda Krefft, who captivated us with stories from her powerful book Expect Great Things!
Thanks to your support, we are raising vital funds for Tech Trek scholarships—so girls can attend immersive STEM camps that build confidence, skills, and community. We were moved by the poise and insights of our Tech Trek alumni, Gissel and Karlie, who shared their experiences and the lasting impact of the program.
