YOU ARE INVITED TO
4th Annual EmpowHER Brunch Gala
where every ticket, every bottomless mimosa, every raffle, and every craft purchase provides safe housing and education for women and girls in Uganda.
NOV. 15 | 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM | HARPER HALL, LEXINGTON, KY
EVERY REGISTRATION & SPONSORSHIP HELPS US REACH OUR GOAL!
This isn’t just brunch…
It is a movement focused on prioritizing the safety and potential of women and girls around the world.
Over complimentary mimosas, a delicious meal, raffles, and handcrafted treasures, we will gather to raise $45,000, opening doors for women and girls in Uganda while closing doors to sexual exploitation, abuse, gender bias, and cycles of generational poverty.
