Join us for our 16th annual Celebrating Women, Transforming Lives (CWTL) spring luncheon, where we'll come together to celebrate the women in our community who are working to transform people's lives for the better.

Guests will be treated to an elegant luncheon experience at the beautiful Danada House and experience an atmosphere filled with inspiration, connection, and joy as we celebrate the achievements of some incredible women. 

This year, we will be honoring two women who make an incredible impact on our community:

Dr. Amy Stoeffler, an OB/GYN and Philanthropist, will receive the Transforming Lives Award.
Kiara Goodwin, a Bridge Graduate, will receive the Lives Transformed Award.

You won't want to miss this uplifting celebration that supports the families facing homelessness that Bridge Communities serves. We look forward to celebrating with you!
