SMILE! Our Board Co-chair, Shamira N. Wright (left) and Executive Director, Patrice Funderburg (right), attended Good Friends Charlotte “Gather and Give” annual luncheon Thursday, where this year’s theme was “Together We Impact.” Special thanks to Patrice’s Leadership Charlotte Class 35 (BCE) classmate, Eleanor Norman Shell, CFRE for the invitation! Founded in 1987, Good Friends #Charlotte is a women’s organization that supports people and families with financial resources to improve lives and inspire hope. We look forward to learning more about this great organization, and also sharing more about our work with the women at our Center for Women who are preparing to return to their families and the community after #incarceration! #goodfriends #womensorganization #gatherandgive #togetherweimpact #inspire #hope
