WHAT WE DO AS THE HELLENIC WOMEN’S CLUB
The Demetra Fund
The EOK's Demetra Fund for Breast Cancer Research and Patient Assistance was established to honor our dear member, Demetra Samellas, who lost her life to a battle against breast cancer. Funds raised support breast cancer research and patient assistance.
EOK Scholarships
Each year, The Hellenic Women's Club awards $5,000 to deserving young women of Greek descent at The Mistletoe Ball in November. Recipients are awarded based on their academic merit, community service and leadership efforts.
Charity Giving
Through the generosity of our loyal Sustaining Sponsors and donors and guests at our fundraising events, The Hellenic Women’s Club is able to make annual gifts to a variety of medical, cultural, and educational organizations in Greater Boston and beyond.
Our sincere thanks to the 2023 Sustaining Sponsors who supported The Hellenic Women’s Club’s 88-year mission of philanthropy.
