If you were unable to attend Girl Legacy, help us to exceed our goal by donating today! Every dollar raised will support Community Bridges programs and allow us to expand and to serve more girls in grades 4th-12th in Montgomery County and to support them through distance learning and COVID-19.

The History of Girl Legacy
In 2017, Community Bridges launched Girl Legacy as a special 20th anniversary celebration. Thanks to our generous sponsors, everyone who attended, our talented CB girls, and all the amazing people who donated time and services to support Girl Legacy, the event was a great success — and we decided to make Girl Legacy an annual event.
