2010 Circle of Women
The Circle of Women event will be held on February 18, 2010 at the Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center.
About the Event
Celebrate the power of women's philanthropy at the Circle of Women. Guests hear from women whose lives have been changed by the YWCA Madison and discover how their gift benefits women and their families in our community. The event was conceived as a way to encourage philanthropy among women and provide an opportunity to network with others from diverse social, ethnic, economic, educational and cultural backgrounds.
Circle of Women is designed to provide participants with the opportunity to learn about the YWCA and funds raised by guests at the event will support the YWCA Madison's employment and training, counseling, housing and racial justice programs, which enrich the lives of Madison and Dane County women and families. Because of our generous sponsors, each dollar raised goes directly to the YWCA to support local programming.
We are currently recruiting table captains for this event. Please consider helping us complete the circle by becoming a table captain! For more information or to get involved, please contact Debra at 608-257-1436.
