HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Girls Inc. of Huntsville is holding its "Bold Brunch" event virtually on Saturday, September 18, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Organizers say the event will feature one-on-one discussions with women leaders from around the community, interviewed by girls of Madison County.

"Our mission of inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold includes erasing the inequities that prevent them from reaching their full potential as successful adults and leaders," said Executive Director Stephanie Malone. " Funds raised from this event will ensure that we can continue to equip girls with the tools and opportunities which will allow them to take full advantage of their leadership potential."
