Spark builds a community of young, global citizens who are invested in changing patterns of inequality that impact women throughout the world. Spark generously awarded $5,000 for O4G's Future Fund Scholarships to college bound girls. With their support, O4G recently awarded four Oasis participants $1250. Congratulations Su Ping, Ashley, Julia and Carolyn!

Pow.wow Network: We give major props to Dava Guthmiller and the Pow.wow network, a collective of women entrepreneurs. In 2006, O4G attended one of their signature events supporting up and coming small women business owners. Since then, the group has helped us recruit women of color for Rise Career Networking night, held their annual holiday benefit in our honor at Notori Studio in SOMA. Dava is also volunteering on our fundraising committee this year!


eWomenNetwork: The San Francisco Chapter of eWomenNetwork awarded $6,000 in support of our Life Skills Education program. One year ago, O4G met arts aficionado and member Laurel Winzler of Laurel Designs who became our ambassador. O4G was invited to an Ewomennetwork event, learned marketing tools from Edith Yeung, had a vendor table and had our youth staff Maddy represent. O4G will go to Dallas, TX in July to receive the award in front an audience of 3,000 members.

Thanks to all of you for volunteering your time and your amazing efforts to help us realize our vision of cultivating generations of strong and creative young women leaders who realize their potential, live healthy lives and make a positive impact on their communities.
