GALS THAT GIVE

Gals That Give is an inclusive gathering of local like-minded philanthropic gals who recognize the need for community support and share a passion for change.  Each woman donates $100 four times per year to local charities that the Gals collectively vote on.  With 120 members, that totals $48k annually to support the Simcoe County community.  Schenley was a member from 2018 to 2022 and Nineteen Marketing was also a proud sponsor and supplier of the Gals That Give official merchandise during that time.
