The holiday season is hailed as a time for family, friends and, most importantly, giving. Whether it be a small gesture done for a stranger or a handpicked gift given to a family member, actions and the meaning behind them have an impact.

In inRegister’s 2018 “Women with a Cause” feature, meet seven women who know more about taking action and giving back than most. Each of the women highlighted exemplifies the true spirit of the holidays through her unrelenting dedication to philanthropic efforts.

See the full feature, with links to the profile of each woman, here. You can also read more in the print December issue of inRegister, available on newsstands now.
