Creating a Future for Girl Scouting |
"To reach just one girl through Girl Scouting is to change our world forever."
What is the Circle of Pearls Society? How do I join Girl Scouts Milwaukee Area's Circle of Pearls Society? |
The Circle of Pearls Society was created in 2000 as a way to recognize and acknowledge with gratitude donors who are committed to shaping the future of Girl Scouts of Milwaukee Area through financial support from their estates or other planned gifts. There are 41members and the list is growing.
Why is it named
Circle of Pearls?
Juliette Low, also known as Daisy, dreamed of giving the United States “something
for all the girls”: - an organization that would bring girls out of
their cloistered home environments to serve in their communities and experience
the open air.
Daisy personally funded her dream by selling her necklace of rare matched pearls for $8,000 to finance operations in the early days. With this funding and her unique brand of enthusiasm, the Girl Scout movement attracted many talented, educated women and girls by providing an outlet for their abilities.
How
do I join Girl Scouts Milwaukee Area's Circle of Pearls
Society?
Like Daisy Low, you believe in the Girl Scout dream. You too,
have a pearl of matchless beauty in your commitment to and
financial support of this dream. You may make provision(s)
for a deferred gift to GSMA through your will, life
insurance policy or establishment of a charitable remainder
trust (examples below).
