The speaker during the virtual presentation at 16:45 minutes said, "On behalf of the Texas Forest Country Partnership I would like to congratulate 50 Women Impact on your 2020 Do-Gooder of the Year award for Shelby County. 50 Women Impact was established in November of 2017 with a small group of women in the community. The goal was to create of group of 50 women willing to give $100 per quarter to be awarded to a deserving organization in the county. 50 members soon became more than 100 women dedicated to the cause. Since formation this organization has given back more than $120,000 to include $31,500 to the COVID-19 crisis. Some recipients include Texas A&M AgriLife 4H, ministries, foundations, youth organizations, and much much more. Thank you for your mission to fulfill your goal and what the power of giving as one can do."
