Cocktails and Sparkles - Be The Light!

Our theme this year is in celebration of "A Starry Night" We will gather not only as a fundraiser, but to celebrate the resilience, strength, and unity of women everywhere.

Be inspired by the starlight sky, the glow of the celestial planes, the sparkle of your champagne. #BeTheLight. It is cocktail attire - but we also know the real glow comes from within. And if you need some inspiration or a new dress . . . EmpowHERment has options at the Clearwater center. Just reach out and let us know. We will do our best to find an option. Also don't forget your dancing shoes. #StarlightSoirée

Heavy hors d'oeuvres + Drinks

In order to make this a more interactive event, we have ditched the dining room for a ballroom. There will be plenty of heavy hors d'oeuvres instead floating around the room. From vegetarian and healthy options to seafood and beyond.

There is an open bar from 6-7pm as well as specialty themed cocktails and mocktails to light up your night. A cash bar is available for the rest of the evening.

Hors d'oeuvres will be served both before and after the presentations as well as a tasty treat as you are headed out.

Grab your dancing shoes, join our cause, and celebrate the remarkable women in our community at our 5th Annual Soiree.

Saturday November 16th @ 6pm

Together, we can illuminate pathways that were once invisible, creating brighter futures by passing the torch of hope and inspiration to another. Your presence and generosity will light the way for countless women, empowering them to grow, thrive, and achieve their dreams.

By joining us, you become a beacon of support and encouragement, helping women in our community to overcome challenges and reach their full potential. Let’s gather together to make a lasting impact, fostering a community where every woman has the opportunity to succeed and be seen. #BeTheLight
