Our signature fall fundraiser, this event brings together the community to support women entrepreneurs in San Diego County and around the world, working to overcome poverty for their families. We are expecting 200 attendees, including working and retired professionals and business owners, philanthropists, and community leaders—both women and men alike.

Attendees will enjoy food, drinks, music, inspirational programming, silent and live auctions, and the opportunity to browse through a Maker Fair with WE-supported, local women entrepreneurs. All net proceeds of the event will benefit our grants distributed to vetted, high-impact nonprofits implementing women’s economic empowerment programs, including microloans, small business development and support, job training and certifications, skills building, leadership development, financial literacy, and education. Proceeds will be raised through sponsorships, ticket sales, auctions, paddle-raise to fund women entrepreneurs, and general donations.

In-kind donors are recognized on event signage, in pre- and post-event e-newsletters, on our event webpage, and in social media posts.
