Before midnight tonight, every gift to Take The Lead is being tripled, funding leadership scholarships for women entering 2026 with clarity, confidence, and momentum.

If you’ve been waiting We’re so close to the end of 2025 and thanks to YOU, it’s been a year of lifting women higher! 💛

Right now, every gift to Take The Lead is being tripled through Dec. 31. That means your support goes three times as far in funding scholar Merry Christmas! 🎄 
Even in the busiest moments, may you find light, warmth, and the courage to lift others as you celebrate. Dreaming bigger isn’t about ambition for ambition’s sake.

It’s about believing that growth, reinvention, and leadership remain possible—at every stage of life.
