A Woman of Influence Making a Difference
Are you a woman?
You have the power to create meaningful change in your world and beyond.
Are you a guy?
You likely know women who are making an impact. Your support and encouragement can amplify their efforts in extraordinary ways. Together, as a united force, we can build something powerful—perhaps even reshape the world.
Over the years, A Woman of Influence (AWI) has raised funds to support the rescue, rehabilitation, and prosecution efforts related to human trafficking. For more than five years, our annual gala has helped generate thousands of dollars for this vital cause.
We’re thrilled to invite you to Our Next Big Gala (See Above). Mark your calendar now! This special evening will bring people together with purpose and passion to raise both funds and awareness for this deeply important issue.
We are fortunate to have many helpers—both men and women—contributing time, skills, and heart. Each small action adds up to something far greater. The momentum is growing as we step into a fresh chapter for AWI.
And now, we’re inviting you to be part of it.
What can you do?
Firstly, you could donate. Your contribution helps make the gala and our ongoing efforts possible. Every dollar beyond event costs goes directly to powerful, life-changing causes, especially those working to eliminate human trafficking.
Can you offer more? Perhaps your talents could make a big difference. If you knit, crochet, sew, or create, we can sell or auction your items. If you’re skilled at organising or a whiz with technology, we need you.
Whatever you feel called to do, we would love to hear from you.
Please email us today and help us continue making a lasting difference.
