Donor Spotlight: Tricia

Tilford

Tricia has devoted her time and resources to Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts in her recent and demanding role as GSEMA Board Chair and President, and as a very generous donor. Tricia, who always thinks about how to engage others, offered an exciting $50,000 challenge to match gifts made during the 29th Leading Women Awards, which was quickly met—and exceeded! In recognition of Tricia’s contributions, she was presented the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts Helen Storrow Heritage Award for her philanthropy and efforts to preserve our vast Girl Scout history. We are so thankful for Tricia’s commitment to making a difference in the lives of Girl Scouts across eastern Massachusetts.

“Like many of you, I am a Girl Scout alum. I followed in the footsteps of my mother and grandmother. Along the way, my life was immeasurably enriched with unique opportunities for leadership, travel, friendship and fun... My story is not unique—in fact, an overwhelming number of Girl Scout alums say that their participation in Girl Scouts set them on a path of achievement, connected them to something bigger than themselves, and helped them develop their passions and interests.”
