What Your Ticket Makes Possible
Your support isn't just a fun celebration, it changes the trajectory of local businesses. Thanks to the contributions from last year's Gala, we were able to support 100+ women entrepreneurs, with business education, breakthrough mentorship, and a thriving community to launch and scale their companies.
This year, we want to DOUBLE our impact. Our goal is to empower twice as many women founders. Every ticket, raffle buy-in, and extra chip bundle you purchase turns into real possibilities for a local business owner. Let’s beat the odds and break records together!
