20th Annual Women's Fund Luncheon

Join Us! Thursday, September 10 New Format - Greater Impact! We are excited to celebrate the 20th annual Women's Fund Luncheon with you, only from a distance this year. The Luncheon has always been a day to remember, and it’s essential for raising funds to sustain the critical work of the Women's Fund. This year is no different, except we are bringing the luncheon to you. Many of you have attended the luncheon with friends, family, and colleagues – some for 19 years! You’ve been awed and inspired by women stepping out and breaking barriers. You have laughed, cried, and taken action. And collectively, you’ve shown your support by donating, advocating, and volunteering to advance opportunities for women and girls in our community.

We know that no matter how we come together, our strength is unstoppable! Your annual attendance and support fuel the Women’s Fund grantmaking, advocacy and education efforts that are critical to the economic recovery and reshaping a future where women and girls of every background thrive. Now more than ever, women and girls need you at the table. Wherever that table happens to be, join us virtually on September 10 for the luncheon of a lifetime!
