The Sisterhood of Superwomen Catherine Anaya started the “Sisterhood” in 2009 as a way to learn about different charities and how to support them over a lovely two-hour Sunday lunch. The events are held at various restaurants throughout the Valley every other month and feature a representative or volunteer from a smaller charity or specific program. Each presentation includes a Q&A and a raffle, with all funds collected going straight to the organization being featured. Most events are posted to Facebook, if you’d like to follow along and consider joining: facebook.com/sosuperwomen 50 FRONTDOORS MEDIA | NOVEMBER 2019 sisterhoodofsuperwomen.com Women of Scottsdale, Central Phoenix Women, East Valley Women, North Valley Women These monthly gathering across the Valley are owned by CEO JoAnn Holland. Each calendar year she selects a theme for giving back as well as an individual organization to benefit from being present at each gathering for the full year. The 2019 theme has been higher education and several institutions such as Paradise Valley Community College and Arizona State University have been chosen to build relationships with members year-round. Members have been surprised to learn how many special events, community programs and educational opportunities there are within each college campus. womenofscottsdale.org eastvalleywomen.org centralphoenixwomen.org northvalleywomen.org

The Mortgage CHICK Historic Highs For Home Equity In the second quarter of 2019, U.S. home equity hit an all-time high of $6.3 trillion, according to a new report from Black Knight. Nearly every homeowner that has a mortgage more than six months old could be eligible for a refinance to reduce their interest rate and/or tap into home equity. If you have not taken advantage of this historic opportunity, contact me today. KIESHA McFADDEN C H E C K I N G I N W I T H THIS MONTH’S TIP /// GIVING THANKS IN THE VALLEY Last month, I was honored with the “Humanitarian of the Year” award through my company Geneva Financial. Giving back has always been a passion of mine. Over the last year, I’ve been able to work with many like-minded people and organizations such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels, Florence Crittenton, Ronald McDonald House, Valley of the Sun 20-30 club and many more. I am so thankful for what each of these organizations does for our community and for allowing me to be a part of the difference they are making.

They are always fun and filled with interesting women who make our community the special place it is to live, work and play. Cheers! KNOW Phoenix Cares When Sarah Benken started the KNOW Book here in Phoenix in 2017, philanthropy was not a part of the membership plan. In 2018, a few members got together and asked if giving back to women-focused causes could be part of their networking events and KNOW Cares was born. Four charities were selected to benefit from being the featured organization at one event in 2019, with each event customized to complete a goal in one night. From collecting female hygiene products for girls in Title I school to sorting specialty bras for breast cancer patients, members not only feel like they make a difference, they can opt to become involved with the organization directly.
