About the YWCA annual sponsorship drive:

Each year in March the YWCA asks for the community’s support. This year they have set their goal at $100,000. “We have more than doubled our goal this year. With some new strategies in place, we are looking forward to our biggest campaign yet,” said Wilczek.

Annually held in March, the sponsorship drive allows the YWCA to continue to provide free emergency services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, the SANE program, as well as quality youth programs such as the annual Girl Power Rally, Project Cinderella, and Racial Justice Program. These services impact an average of 1,426 individuals each year.
