Women for The Inn
In October 2023, the Women for The Inn (WINN) Community celebrated its fifth anniversary. Since its inception in 2018, WINN has grown into a dynamic group of over 100 members dedicated to supporting The Children’s Inn. Joining this group provides members with opportunities to volunteer their time, donate (and direct) funds toward Inn projects, network with like-minded women, and connect with healthcare luminaries.
Under the leadership of co-chairs Debra Cohen and Monica Granovsky, WINN brings together women who embrace The Inn’s mission. They strive to maximize their creativity, personal philanthropy, and professional networks to provide meaningful support to Inn families.
This past year has been an active one for the WINN community. In addition to hearing from NIH leaders during triannual member meetings and forming friendships at WINN socials, this incredible group of women has dedicated countless hours, generous donations, and lots of love to Inn families by:
- Sponsoring and volunteering monthly to serve meals to our residents.
- Engaging with families during Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, and Halloween parties.
- Decorating our halls and wrapping gifts during the winter holidays.
- Reading books to our youngest residents during Pets & Pajamas Storytime.
- Writing notes of encouragement to fill The Inn’s Thoughtful Treasure mailboxes.
- Serving as ambassadors for The Inn within their companies and friend groups.
WINN takes pride in having directed over $540,000 in yearly membership donations over the past five years toward resident welcome packages, playground renovations, kitchen supplies, and The Inn’s Feeding Family and Education Funds. We look forward to continuing this tradition of support and welcome any women who would like to contribute the minimum annual amount of $1,000 to join us.
