WITAN, (Women in Touch with Akron’s Needs) initially founded in 1943 by seven young women, has grown to an active membership of over 200 remarkable women who give their time and money as volunteers to benefit the community.
Along with countless volunteer hours within the community, last year, the Women of WITAN donated over $140,000 to community organizations. The WOW Imagine Ball, a spring gala, is our major fundraiser.
Since 1943, WITAN has volunteered over 3 million hours in the community and granted over $1.75 million dollars to nonprofit agencies.
