A Message From the Founder
My name is Mignon Lagatta and I am a native to this area, born and raised in Carson City. I now proudly call Reno my home. I love this community. I am raising kids here, I own a business here, and my family, friends, and roots are here.
I believe very strongly in giving back and have been searching for a meaningful way to do so. At a recent conference, I met the woman who started the original Thank You Ma’am in Seattle, and something clicked. I knew right away this was what I wanted to bring to Reno.
This is a way to contribute that makes a big impact without a big time commitment. It allows us to keep our giving local while connecting with other incredible women.
If this sounds like something you are interested in, please join us. We can make a difference right here at home, one non profit at a time.
Thank you, ma’am.
