It's quite inspirational listening to the panel at the "womengive | 17" event. Right now, Foundation For The Carolinas President and CEO Michael Marsicano is asking the distinguished panel, including Charlotte banking and philanthropic legend Hugh McColl, City of Charlotte Council Member Carlenia Ivory , Will Alston of Wells Fargo , Melissa Bodford of uBack and civic leader Liz Simmons about the most gratifying philanthropic donations they've ever made. McColl found it hard to single out just one, but the $5 million dollars he was able to donate to a hospital for research into a disease that affected his granddaughter springs to mind. Carlenia Ivory says she felt elated about a multi-million dollar project that would have brought jobs and training to Charlotte's inner city--until it fell through. The good news is that she's working on anther similar project that has a good chance of coming together. The unifying thread for all of the panelists? Giving is its own reward. Giving provides such tremendous fulfillment and satisfaction. #IUPUI #WomenGive17 #women #philanthropy #gendermatters …see more
