The Women’s Giving Circle of North Central West Virginia (WGC), a component fund of Your Community Foundation of North Central West Virginia Inc. (YCF), is hosting its annual Spring Bash from 6-8:30 p.m. May 1 at the Morgantown Marriott at Waterfront Place.
The event is open to all women within the community who would like to learn about the WGC and how to get involved in a community of thoughtful, effective women philanthropists.
Special guest, Princess Sarah Culberson, will be the featured speaker.
A Morgantown native, Culberson is an internationally known thought leader, an honored recipient of the prestigious Trumpet Impact Award, and real-life princess.

Admission is $40 per person and includes heavy hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Cash or check will be accepted at the door.
“We are so privileged to have distinguished speaker Princess Sarah attend our event to speak about the importance of philanthropy and how women can impact their society on a grassroots level,” said WGC Chair Bessie Fooks.
