Please join us virtually in an actual salute to the 2021 Women of Distinction in support of the Women and Girls Fund of Waukesha County.

Since 1985, the Women of Distinction Awards have recognized women in Waukesha County for extraordinary accomplishments and leadership. The event also celebrates local organizations striving to strengthen the community by helping women and girls improve their quality of life.

The Women of Distinction Awards is the signature fundraiser for the Women and Girls Fund, which has granted more than $1.3 million to local nonprofits advancing the health, well-being, education and empowerment of females of all ages in the community.

Examples of projects boosted by recent grants include efforts to:

• Provide dental care for low-income women and girls
• Assist new mothers whose babies were exposed to opiate drugs before birth
• Provide free legal services to victims of sexual assault, abuse or sex trafficking
• Mentor girls and women with disabilities to increase physical activity and healthy eating behavior
• Offer a safe space and services for teenage girls who have been abused
• Advance parenting skills among incarcerated mothers
• Conduct leadership training for at-risk high school girls

Women to be honored at the 2021 Women of Distinction Awards are:

• Deanne Blazek
• Suzanne Kelley
• Jane Lurvey
• Elaina Rodriguez
• Lakota Sunshine

The virtual event will be steamed live on Facebook and YouTube at noon as well as 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 15.
