On May 26, 1926, Miss Kathleen Price (later Mrs. Joseph M. Bryan), her nine book club friends, and a selected group of 24 more young women met in the O. Henry Hotel’s Blue Room and organized the Greensboro Charity League. Its purpose was the giving of public service to worthy causes and the raising of money for such interests. 

 In 1928 the Greensboro Charity League became the Junior League of Greensboro when it was accepted as a member league of the National Junior League (now Association of Junior Leagues International). Since then the Junior League of Greensboro has dedicated 97 years of service to the Greensboro community. Through the support of our members and donors, we have been an integral part of initiatives that make Greensboro a better place such as: the Greensboro Science Center, Miriam P. Brenner Children’s Museum, Gateway Education Center, and much more. 

We invite all donors who give an annual gift of $1,000.00 or more to become a member of our annual 1928 Society. Donors will be acknowledged in the League’s annual magazine EverGreene, in the Monday Minute newsletter, the JLG website, at the monthly membership meetings, and at the Junior League Headquarters on the Giving Wall. A celebratory evening recognizing the current donors of the 1928 Society will be held at the end of the League year.
