GLOBAL Chosen as Top Charity at Largest Conference for Women-Owned Businesses
We are honored to share that GLOBAL was selected as the top winner at the CEO Success Community Playing for Charity Corporate Night during the WBENC National Tradeshow in Denver in March 2024. This is the largest conference for women-owned businesses, connecting them with Fortune 500 companies through seminars and special events.
“We selected GLOBAL as one of our three charity choices based on your outstanding work and in honor of our Tradeshow Booth Corporate Sponsor Kristin Malek, CDW, and my Aunt Diane, who had Down syndrome,” said Marianne Ellis, Co-Founder & CEO of CEO Success Community.
The John Denver team’s exceptional music performance in Playing for Charity earned them the highest points, leading to their selection of GLOBAL as their charity of choice. Marianne Ellis, CEO/Co-Founder of CEO Success Community, shared a deeply personal connection, reflecting on Michelle’s story of her daughter Sophia and recalling her Aunt Diane’s own journey with Down syndrome.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to CEO Success Community, and all involved for their unwavering support and generosity. Special thanks to Lamont, Hanley & Associates, APM Music, and MPATH Music, who generously supported the event as charity sponsors. GLOBAL is proud to be impacting the larger community to advocate for and make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals with Down syndrome.
