AMEILA EARHART
LUNCHEON
In honor of early ZONTA member and aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, this luncheon provides a forum to inspire a new generation of girls and young women to follow Earhart’s trailblazing spirit into their own science, technology, engineering, and mathematics career paths.
We host an array of girls from middle and high schools across the Dallas area including Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Magnet Center, Irma Rangel Young Women’s Leadership School, Dallas Police Department Youth Outreach Unit, Cedar Hill ISD Collegiate High School, New Tech High Coppell ISD and Hockaday School.
Proceeds from this luncheon funded three Ruth Maddox Young Women in Stem Award Scholarships in 2020 for college women pursuing STEM majors. Any additional proceeds support other Zonta initiatives for the support of women and girls including Our Friends Place, a transitional housing program for young women ages 18-24 who have experienced poverty, homelessness or abuse.
