Annual Giving Campaign

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
- Winston Churchill

The Junior League has been supporting the Great Lakes Bay Region since 1929 and has given over $2 million to local community projects. Here are a few recent examples:

  • Donated $30,000 to help design and build a new playground at the Children’s Zoo at Celebration Square.
  • Donated $40,000 to start the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program at the CAN Council of Saginaw County.
  • Advocated for the 21-bill human trafficking package that was signed into law by Governor Rick Snyder on October 16, 2014.
  • Donated $10,000 to the community during COVID-19.
  • Donated $20,000 to the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program at the CAN Council in celebration of their 20th anniversary in 2022.
  • Continually train our membership to become board members, non-profit executives, appointed/elected officials, and leaders in our community.

Many companies match employee charitable gifts. Check with your HR Department to see if your employer will contribute to your personal donation!
