Hello CWNY Members and Friends,
We would like to express our gratitude for all who have been part of this incredible year for CWNY. A great number of women from different backgrounds have come together to volunteer and attend our programs, building up this wonderful community, which has benefited all of us.
Next week is GIVING TUESDAY! We would love to count on you as an ambassador of CWNY by making a contribution to our end-of-year campaign and/or sharing our emails and social media posts on Tuesday, November 29th. All funds raised will help empower women by offering resources to aid, uplift, and address their challenges and advocate for full gender equality.
