WINGS Scholarship Award

The WINGS Award was created by past recipients of YWCA’s Women of Distinction Award—women who shared a deep commitment to lifting up others and investing in the future of women in McLean County. While the final Women of Distinction event took place in 2022, its legacy continues through the WINGS Award, now celebrated as part of YWCA’s Annual Circle Luncheon.

Today, the WINGS Award is sustained by the generosity of our community. Your gift helps carry forward the original vision of Women of Distinction: supporting women’s professional and personal growth through financial assistance and mentorship.

Each year, WINGS Awards provide critical support for women as they build new skills, pursue education or certification, and take meaningful steps toward long-term stability and success. When you give, you are investing in a woman’s potential—and strengthening our entire community.
