2023 Take the Lead Program - Philadelphia

PRESENTED

Dear Friends of Girl Scouting,

There are so many things to celebrate this year, as we come together to mark the 37th anniversary of Take the Lead. Among them is the fact that, after the “down” years of COVID, Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania (GSEP) membership was up 12% last year, and we are on pace to grow between 12% and 15% this coming year!

Girl Scouts provides a supportive and inclusive environment for girls to develop their leadership skills, build self-confidence, and explore their interests and passions...something that is more important now than ever before. Through an ever-wider variety of experiences and activities, GSEP girls are learning important life skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. And they are developing a genuine sense of connection and community.

Speaking of which, the four amazing women being honored this year are shining examples of courage, confidence, and character in their own right. Each honoree is committed to bettering the Greater Philadelphia community in diverse ways. It is a true privilege to acknowledge and celebrate them.

We hope this evening’s event will give you an inside glimpse of the ways in which girls spring to life with excitement and optimism when they immerse themselves in Girl Scout activities, projects, and events. As our theme suggests, at the end of the day, Girls Scouts is all about leadership and empowerment: girls knowing right from wrong, trusting their internal compasses, and using their instincts and energies to advocate for themselves and others and better their worlds. We empower girls to do exactly that—and it is arguably the most important thing we can do for this country’s future.

Please accept my thanks for your generosity tonight. You are helping us cultivate a generation of young women who—when confronted with life’s challenges and injustices of any kind, big or small—will know how to step in, not step aside. Girl Scouts take action, which builds their self-esteem and contributes to defining their purpose, and simultaneously makes the world a better place.

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Kim E. Fraites-Dow Chief Executive Officer Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania

Here’s to building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

Comcast NBCUniversal is proud to support the Girls Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania’s Take the Lead 2023.

Dear Friends,

The only thing that could give us more pleasure than serving as co-chairs of this year’s Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania (GSEP) Take the Lead event is the opportunity to salute the four remarkable women who are tonight’s honorees.

We cannot think of better examples of commitment to values, and service to the community, than Renee, Gina, Nydia, and Deborah. Four exceptional high school aged Girl Scouts had the opportunity to get to know and learn from these women. They saw how the honorees utilize their talents, inspiration, and achievement to mentor others and have a sustainable positive impact on the community.

The term “role model” is perhaps overused. But one cannot overstate the importance of providing girls with real-life examples of what is possible when you successfully navigate life’s challenges to create lives of accomplishment and giving back to others.

You know, outdoor adventures and camping trips—timeless elements of Girl Scouts—are fantastic, fun, and crucial. When you support GSEP, you are also underwriting a full range of educational and developmental programs, including leadership training, community service opportunities, and hands-on skill building in areas such as science and technology, the arts, and entrepreneurship.

Thank you for spending time with us this evening, and for your generosity to young women for whom the Girl Scouts is a place of friendship, learning, bright futures, and shining possibilities.

We offer enormous, heartfelt thanks to all our supporters past, present, and future who are making possible our mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

Sincerely,

Rev. Dr. Lorina Marshall-Blake Independence Blue Cross Co-Chair, 2023 Take the Lead

Closing Song Lyrics

“Make New Friends”

Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other’s gold.

A circle is round, it has no end. That’s how long, I want to be your friend.

A fire burns bright, it warms the heart. We’ve been friends, from the very start.

You have one hand, you have the other. Put them together, we have each other.

we deliver human care. Because treating our neighbors is the most honorable thing we’ll ever do.

CEOs. Scientists. Athletes. Artists. Mothers. Leaders.

Two-thirds of the most successful women were Girl Scouts. One in every two adult women in the U.S. has at some point been a member of Girl Scouts. It’s no coincidence that most our nation’s female leaders and business owners were once Girl Scouts.

Powering partnerships.

At PECO, we recognize that great leaders grow where diversity is celebrated and people are empowered. That’s why we contribute more than $6 million each year to diverse programs that promote education, the environment, arts and culture, and community enrichment—like Camp Shelly Ridge and STEM programs for our region’s Girl Scouts—giving girls the tools to make an even greater impact in their communities.

PECO is proud to partner with Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania in celebrating this year’s Take The Lead award winners.
