20th Annual Women's Fund Luncheon

Thursday, September 10

Will you join us? The Women's Fund Virtual Luncheon is just around the corner! You won't want to miss it!

Many of you have joined us at the Women's Fund Luncheon with your friends, family, and colleagues – some for 19 years! You’ve been awed and inspired by women stepping out and breaking barriers and this year is no different! We're simply bringing the luncheon to you. We know that no matter how we come together, our strength is unstoppable!

Your annual attendance and support are essential to raising funds that fuel the Women's Fund grantmaking, advocacy and education efforts.

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!

"We are honored to be asked to support this extraordinary event and milestone as honorary co-chairs. Let’s continue to make the impact that we know is so important to you and our community."
