Bloom Together: An International Women’s Day Celebration
Join us for Bloom Together, an event celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD) with Women’s Empowerment International (WE). This year’s IWD theme, #GiveToGain, reflects the heart of our work: when we give, women around the world gain the skills, microloans and other financial tools, and opportunities they need to lift themselves out of poverty and build lasting economic independence.
Enjoy an inspiring time of community and creativity featuring postcard and keychain-making stations, a flower bar, an inspiring speaker, an opportunity drawing with curated prizes, and a special photo booth experience. Tickets include one drink ticket, light bites and desserts, and access to all activities. VIP tickets include a special WE tote bag with gifts, an extra drink ticket, and additional opportunity drawing entries. Bring a Friend discount: Buy a ticket for your friend and get $5 off each ticket!
Celebrate while supporting women near and far! Event proceeds benefit WE grants for economic empowerment programs for women facing poverty in San Diego County and around the world. This year, we are supporting programs with 11 high-impact partners in San Diego County, Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Uganda. Learn more at the event!
