Together we raised $32,512! 

The 38th Annual Women of Achievement Awards Was A Success Because Of You!

Together, with the support of valued friends and organizations, YWCA Spokane celebrated the 2020 Women of Achievement awards virtually on Thursday, October 1st, 2020 and raised $32,512!

A Special Celebration

We have truly amazing individuals and organizations living out YWCA’s mission of eliminating racism and empowering women.

Having to transition to a virtual celebration didn’t stop our team from facilitating a very special celebration of this year’s Women of Achievement awards. We are incredibly grateful to our co-hosts, Kiantha Duncan and Kris Crocker, to our event co-chairs, Anna Franklin and Laura McAloon, and to our staff and event committee for ensuring a successful and special celebration.

We had the honor of celebrating 8 amazing women who make an incredible difference in our community, listen to a powerful Keynote from Peg Currie, learn about a special matching gift opportunity, and be inspired by a mission moment that highlights our beloved community.

To help raise vital funds for YWCA Spokane, a culinary tour of Northern Quest’s award-winning restaurants was available to take home and enjoy the night of the virtual event. View The Menu. A virtual paddle raise opportunity was also made available during the virtual event which raised $32,512 towards YWCA’s ONE MISSION fundraising goal of $275,000. Thanks to Hamilton Studio, we have a beautiful recording of the event to share with you. Take a look! 

Raising Critical Support For Those We Serve

YWCA Spokane is so grateful for the support received during our 2020 Women of Achievement awards celebration. Together, we raised $32,512 during the live event! It was an inspiring night!

This year, due to the pandemic, the awards celebration is offered as part of our new ONE MISSION campaign which looks to raise $275,000 in critical funds needed to serve over 17,000 women, children, and families each year by YWCA Spokane. 

This October, please join us for the second part of the ONE MISSION campaign, YWCA’s Learn & Give Challenge. This challenge looks to spread awareness about domestic violence, help raise vital funds, and inspire real and lasting change in our community.

Join YWCA’s Learn & Give Challenge today and make a difference in Spokane during Domestic Violence Action Month!
