BRAWS (Bringing Resources to Aid Women's Shelters), is a local Vienna-based nonprofit. BRAWS provides menstrual supplies and undergarments to women and children in crisis who do not have access to critical, basic needs in our community and around the world.

BRAWS annual fundraiser, Mardi Bras takes place on Friday, March 4, 2022 at Westwood Country Club in Vienna with VIP cocktails beginning at 7 PM and the main event taking place from 8 PM until 11 PM. 

The event gathers together over 400 supporters and features a New Orleans themed buffet, live and silent auction, raffle, dancing, a complimentary signature cocktail, and full cash bar.

In order to contine their amazing support in the Northern VA communities, BRAWS is in need of sponsors and donations for the silent auction and raffle for their 8th Annual Mardi Bras Fundraiser!!

This is great exposure for local businesses both at the event and in pre and post event marketing!
