Sponsored by more than 50 companies and organizations each year, it has become one of the area’s most prestigious award recognition events for women. Over 1000 friends and supporters who believe in YWCA Spokane’s mission come together to invest in the safety, hope, and healing of those served by YWCA’s critical programs through their support of this spectacular celebration of women.

2020 Women of Achievement Awards Celebration

Our 2020 Women of Achievement awards celebration was part of YWCA Spokane’s two month campaign called ONE MISSION. The campaign and virtual celebration looked to raise a total of $275,000 in critical funds for the agency’s service in addition to celebrating those who live out YWCA’s one mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. Proceeds raised benefit services for domestic violence victims and their children, including emergency shelter, counseling, legal services, job readiness, child care, and Pre-K programs for low-income children. YWCA Spokane serve approximately 17,000 women, men, children, and families each year.
