To Our Supporters and Friends, 

Join us on April 30th from 11 AM to 1 PM for an inspiring Girls Inc. luncheon celebrating the champions who support our mission and the girls whose voices, dreams, and achievements inspire us all. This meaningful gathering brings together donors, community partners, and friends to honor impact, empowerment, and the bright possibilities ahead for every girl.

Guests will enjoy a seated lunch provided by Social Cantina, courtesy of the Finney Group, along with special awards recognizing outstanding supporters and leaders in our community. The program will feature Master of Ceremonies Shatoyia Moss, Keynote Speaker Aubrey Williams, and Alumna Speaker Reilly Smith, sharing stories that reflect the power of opportunity and connection.

Shatoyia Moss: Shatoyia Moss, a lifelong champion for girls, families, and community, returns to Girls Inc. today as guest emcee—a full-circle and heartfelt honor. She previously served as Events and Athletic Director at Girls Inc., creating empowering spaces that fostered confidence, leadership, and belonging for young people. She now serves as Director of the Community and Family Resources Department for the City of Bloomington, leading efforts to build a safe, welcoming, and inclusive community through public safety, conflict resolution, and equity-focused programs.

Aubrey Williams: Aubrey Williams, a 2nd-generation financial advisor in Bloomington and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®, is a West Point graduate and U.S. Army veteran with two deployments to Iraq. She earned her MBA and MS in Marketing from Indiana University while working in business and was named one of the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce Ten Under 40 in 2022. Aubrey also volunteers with the Daughters of the American Revolution, Tri Kappa, Ellettsville Lions Club, and American Legion & Auxiliary. Aubrey was a Girls Inc. girl in her youth, playing basketball in the Girls Inc. program.

Reilly Smith: Reilly Smith is a newly graduate of Indiana University with a B.S. in Arts Management. She is a lifelong Bloomington resident and an alumna of Girls Inc. where she found her love of volleyball and other sports.
