28th Annual Women in History Luncheon

Join us for the 28th Annual Women in History Luncheon. Taking place on Thursday, March 12, 2026, this year’s luncheon features the uplifting theme “Up, Up and Fund the Way,” celebrating the power of education, community, and opportunity to help children rise and thrive. Proceeds from the event directly support high-quality early education, nurturing care, and safe, inclusive learning environments that give children a strong foundation for lifelong success.

This year, JRC is proud to honor Stacy Dulik, a longtime Women in History committee member and dedicated community advocate, alongside Maureen Ater, President and CEO of ArtsinStark, whose leadership and commitment to creativity continue to elevate our community.

The luncheon will also feature DeLores Pressley, an international keynote speaker, author, and founder of She Elevates. Through her inspiring and empowering message, DeLores encourages audiences to build confidence, overcome challenges, and reach new heights—perfectly aligned with this year’s theme.

Sponsorship opportunities are available now, and ticket sales will open soon.

Join us for an inspiring afternoon and help lift JRC’s mission—and the children we serve—even higher.
