10th Annual Gala

A Successful Celebration!

On September 22, 2011 graduates, staff, volunteers, community members, and family gathered together to celebrate the 10th Annual Women’s Empowerment Gala.  Guests of the sold-out event enjoyed a moving program, an exciting silent and live auction and raffle, and inspirational speeches from executive director Lisa Culp and Women’s Empowerment graduate Julie Debbs. Together, we raised $120,000! This amount will have a tremendous impact on the lives of the women and children we serve. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who was a part of this special event.
