Cheers to a Killer Night: Highlights from Women United’s 4th Annual Murder Mystery Fundraiser | | |
|
We are beyond thrilled to share the exciting results of our 4th Annual Murder Mystery Dinner, "Back to the 80s: Murder High Reunion!" that occurred on October 24, 2024. Thanks to your generous support, we raised funds to benefit four incredible local organizations: Oneida Crisis Center, Bannock Youth Foundation, Bingham Crisis Center, and Family Services Alliance.
This means we can continue to provide critical support to women, children, and families in crisis throughout Southeastern Idaho—helping them access shelter, resources, and the stability they need to thrive. Your participation in this event makes a lasting impact, and we are so grateful for your contribution.
Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation you made helped turn this event into something truly rad, ensuring that Women United can fulfill its mission of empowering local women and children. We couldn't have done it without you, and your support continues to inspire our work.
