Join us for the 15th annual Celebrating Women, Transforming Lives (CWTL) spring luncheon as we come together to celebrate the women in our community who are working to transform people's lives for the better.

This year, we'll be returning once again to the beautiful Danada House where guests will be treated to an elegant luncheon experience, expertly emceed by ABC7's Judy Hsu.

We are excited to honor two remarkable women who have transformed the lives of those around them through their unique contributions. You will hear the moving stories of our young adult speaker; Lives Transformed Award honoree, Mame Diaw, a Bridge Communities Graduate; and Transforming Lives Award honoree, Gail Niermeyer, a dedicated community volunteer.

You can expect an atmosphere filled with inspiration, connection, and joy as we celebrate the achievements of these incredible honorees. In addition to these heartfelt tributes, guests will have the opportunity to buy tickets to win a thrilling one-of-a-kind basket filled with items for a Summer of Fun and Fitness that will contribute to the meaningful mission of Bridge Communities.

Don't miss out on this sell-out event—mark your calendars and prepare for a memorable afternoon of celebration and community support! Purchase your tickets before they're gone.
