Celebrate Women, Ignite Change
Together as a community we will transform Women’s History Month in Spokane into a community-wide annual celebration of women and girls.
When we champion women and girls, we change our community for the better. We celebrate Women’s History Month to remind ourselves of the extraordinary accomplishments and contributions of women to our culture and society. When we lift up voices that often go unheard, celebrate milestones achieved, and unearth the tremendous history of women in our community, we all benefit.
Local organizations, businesses and institutions are teaming up to celebrate the achievements of women and girls throughout the month of March and we invite you to join us. The month includes YWCA Spokane’s annual Women of Achievement Awards celebration.
A public installation
Throughout the month of March, River Park Square Mall will feature YWCA Spokane’s Women of Achievement displays, including a unique collaborative art installation. The centerpiece of this display showcases words submitted by Women of Achievement Awards attendees—the words they most needed to believe about themselves in order to accomplish their goals. Visitors to River Park Square will also have the opportunity to enter a giveaway for tickets to Best of Broadway's TINA musical and a stay at the Davenport. Details on how to enter will be available at the display location.
Ways to Celebrate in March
It is more important than ever to join together as a community to lift up women and look towards the possibilities ahead when we all step into action.
Change does not happen in a silo; it requires a team effort from many people, strong institutions and support from every part of society. Together, we are stronger and will foster a ripple effect that will have a lasting impact for generations to come.
