We are proud to announce that on December 4th LVORC was chosen to receive the Sunmark Charitable Community Foundation Fan Favorite Award at the United Way of the Greater Capital Region’s Power Pitch event.
The Power Pitch was brought to life by Women United, a group of energetic, passionate, and philanthropic women empowered to make a true impact in our community. Members of Women United mobilize change by investing in, advocating for, and creating programs that drive equity and excellence for all women and children. POWER Pitch is their signature annual event, a platform to spotlight innovative organizations building power for positive change.
Our pitch, Economic Empowerment Through Literacy, focused on how LVORC programs help build language fluency alongside practical skills to foster economic independence. Birth Net was awarded the top prize of $10,000 by the judges, and Literacy Volunteers was celebrated with a $2,500 award as the Fan Favorite as selected by the audience.
