Supporting Sexual and Domestic Abuse Survivors

On May 4, 2024, we hosted a Fancy Hats & Fashion Derby Pamper Party at Wyckwood House. This wass a party with a purpose! Proceeds benefitted those impacted by sexual assault, sexual harassment, and battery. They received a love purse packed with love essentials.

It was a morning filled with glamour, style, and relaxation. Attendees put on their fanciest hat and strutted their stuff in our fashion derby while indulging in pampering activities like facials, massages, and manicures to feel like royalty. All while supporting a worthy cause. Thanks to our partner, Talented Tenth Social Services!

Transform your revenue-generating, social responsibility, and procurement efforts into a powerful force for social change. Support our efforts to give more underserved individuals and re-entry citizens a second-chance at entrepreneurship.
