Celebrating Women is our signature event and our largest friend and fundraiser of the year. Annually, this event brings together nearly 500 people and raises over $260,000 for youth in Vista Maria’s programs.
In March, Celebrating Women was postponed and rescheduled for September 24th. We were hopeful that we would be able to host the event at the Henry Autograph Collection this fall, but due to continued challenges and concerns regarding the Coronavirus, we have decided to cancel the in-person gathering portion of the event.
We may not be able to be together this year physically, but we will still be celebrating the strength and determination of Vista Maria’s young women. We hope that you will still join us, by participating and bidding generously in our online auction, purchase raffle tickets and sharing a video that we will be producing to highlight our girls, Vista Maria’s mission and help us continue our friend-raising.
Here are some more details on how you can help make Celebrating Women a success for our youth and families!
WATCH AND SHARE: This year we will be featuring three youth speakers via video steam on our website. Our videos will go live two to three times on September 24th. We will share the air times the week of the event. You can choose one time to tune in or watch them all from the comfort of your office or home! Each video will be under 10 minutes long so it will be easy to fit into your day. If you feel inspired by the stories you hear, please share with friends and family to help us spread awareness of our mission.
