Each year, this signature event celebrates a woman whose leadership has made a powerful and lasting contribution to philanthropy. Thanks to the generous support of our attendees and sponsors, our 2025 luncheon raised more than $165,000, allowing us to expand programs that empower women to confidently advocate for themselves and strengthen their communities. The luncheon also offers a meaningful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, forge new relationships, and celebrate the collective impact we create together.
