These three volunteers stand out as leaders in representing the GlamourGals mission to connect and empower two generations of women. Carly Roman is the Chapter President winner, from South Side High School in Rockville Centre, NY. Co-President Kieu Hanh Nguyen, from Mechanicsburg Area High School in Mechanicsburg, PA, won the second award.

There will be a live auction featuring local New York City artists’ interpretations of a hot pink brick wall. This is one of GlamourGals’ most unique and exciting fundraising strategies. The artists participating are Allison Schlegel, Brian Novatny, John Henry, and Predrag Dimitrijevic.
GlamourGals would like to thank LIM College for hosting The Glammy Scholarship Awards and Sweet Street Desserts for providing delicious refreshments.
