Hats in the Garden is an intimate opportunity for women to gather
in a beautiful garden, sip champagne, visit one another, and learn more about
the Sparrow Foundation's Women Working Wonders' mission to
support women's health needs in our region. 

As always, any donation you wish to make will benefit the Deb Atkinson W3
Endowment Fund which also supports women's health. If you are unable
to attend in person but would like to contribute, you can donate online or
simply mail a check to:

Founded in 2002 by Lansing entrepreneur Virginia Hilbert, the Sparrow Foundation’s Women Working Wonders (W3) Committee works tirelessly to support the physical and psychological health of women in mid-Michigan.  The committee is comprised of more than 35 professional women from the Greater Lansing area. With the generous support of our community, W3 has raised nearly $5 million for initiatives that advance women’s health.

Thanks to community philanthropy, W3 supported/funded projects include:

• A $250,000 MicroSelection HDR V2 that reduces radiation treatment for Patients
• A state-of-the-art stereotactic breast biopsy machine for Sparrow’s Radiology Department.
• A dedicated room for the compassionate treatment of sexual assault victims.  
• A Transition-to-Hospice Program that helps terminally ill Patients and their families ease into end-of-life care.
• An Infant Bereavement Program for the heartbreaking times when parents lose a newborn. 
• Pocket-sized cards outlining symptoms of heart disease and stroke specific to women, created and distributed throughout the region.
• A comfortable (and comforting) family lounge in Sparrow’s Neurosciences Center.     
• Softer, more comfortable examination gowns for women undergoing mammograms at Sparrow.      
• A lactation clinic at Sparrow to assist mothers who may have challenges breastfeeding their new babies.        
• The creation of the Deb Atkinson W3 Endowment 
• A $1 million pledge to Sparrow's Herbert-Herman Cancer Center
