Technology (WIT) today announced that Musical Artist Maggie Rose
will perform at its signature fundraising event, WIT Connect 2020,
to be held Virtually, Thursday, July
23.
"At a time when women's voices are rising around the world, it
is inspiring to see WIT continuing to lead the charge with
empowering and educating women to excel in STEAM. As a female
musician, I also work in a male dominated industry and I am seeing
how organizations like WIT can bring possibilities for women to
grow and excel. I use my technology to create music that inspires
and I am thrilled with the opportunity to partner with such an
organization that brings positive change that is so needed," says
Maggie Rose
About Maggie Rose:
An exceptionally versatile vocalist and songwriter, Maggie Rose released Change The Whole Thing to
critical acclaim in 2019. NPR says the Maryland native is the newest member of a
class of young pop crossovers, while American Songwriter calls
Maggie a "soulful show stopper." Rooted in her affinity for
finely-crafted melodies and intricate storytelling, the project
encompassed a blend of American music, melding rock, soul, blues,
and gospel into the same package.
Named a YouTube Emerging Artist and a Pandora Artist to Watch, Maggie has left her
mark on multiple genres. She's charted Top 40 country hits, opened
shows for pop icon Kelly Clarkson,
performed on the Americana-oriented Cayamo Cruise, and earned
praise from the jam-band community with her groove-heavy live show,
which features her backup band Them Vibes. On her upcoming album,
she doubles down on her own sound: a swaggering blend of soul and
American R&B, with her vocals and sharply-written songs leading
the charge.
Since its inception, WIT Connect has gathered nearly 800 of
Atlanta's top executives to raise
more than $3.2 million to support the
development of young girls and the advancement of women in science,
technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM).
Each year, before the program, WIT hosts a special VIP Reception
for invited WIT Connect guests and C-Suite executives participating
in the Executive Auction Experience. This year the VIP Networking
reception will be held virtually. WIT is proud to announce that
State Farm will host the VIP Reception for the third consecutive
year.
Philanthropy:
The premier fundraising and networking event includes a unique
executive auction experience which allows individuals to compete
for exclusive time with top Atlanta C-Suite executives. Proceeds
from the executive auction support WIT Girls and Campus – WIT's
free educational programs for girls and young women. Music, silent
auction, an exclusive VIP virtual networking reception and a
celebration of our 2020 scholarship recipients round out the
festivities for this special event. For more information, visit
