Celebrating Women in Business & Giving Back: A Day to Remember
On October 6th, 2023, I had the absolute privilege of hosting a Women in Business Appreciation Lunch, and I’m still feeling deeply moved by the incredible energy, generosity, and support that filled the room.
This afternoon was more than just a networking event, it was a celebration of connection, community, and compassion. Surrounded by my network, co-workers, and clients, we shared a beautiful experience filled with meaningful conversations, delicious food, and most importantly, purpose.
Supporting a Cause Close to My Heart
The heart of this event was to raise funds and awareness for a cause that means a great deal to me: Catherine House (@catherinehouseadl). They do transformative work supporting women affected by domestic violence and homelessness, helping them reclaim their lives with dignity and strength.
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of everyone involved, we raised an amazing $5,403 for Catherine House. I am beyond proud of what we achieved together—it was a true community effort.
A Feast with Purpose
The incredible team at @pizzameccanica provided us with top-tier hospitality, ensuring the lunch was just as nourishing as it was memorable. The vibe in the room was electric, especially during the moving speeches that left many of us inspired and emotional.
By the time the charity auction kicked off, the energy had lifted to something truly special. Huge thanks to @jamespedlar for running an auction that was equal parts entertaining and impactful!
Heartfelt Thanks to Everyone Involved
