Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Gala attendees, a record-setting $35,000 was pledged for our AWF scholarship fund -- money that will be used to encourage women to enter the field of finance and to assist students who require financial support in order to reach their goals in the finance industry. This wonderful night would not have been possible without you believing in the AWF mission and taking a stand with the AWF to improve gender diversity in finance.
