Support for Girl Scouts Programs Soars with Community Engagement
Jennifer Hoesing, Chief Development Officer for Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons, emphasized the event’s mission:
“We love to have this event to draw attention to all the great things that Girl Scouts are doing in the community, so being a Girl Scout is all about discovering what you have inside you, and becoming the person that you’re meant to be, and this event is just there to provide the support that we need to bring those experiences to girls.”
The proceeds raised during the event will directly benefit Girl Scouts programs across the region, helping to fuel leadership, skills development, and community service opportunities for girls.
