In 1997, Circle of Women gathered 500 women to celebrate their power and to develop women as philanthropists in the community. The objective was to broaden the base of support for YWCA Minneapolis programs and help improve the future for women and girls in the Twin Cities.

Our anniversary event will be held virtually, connecting YWCA Minneapolis supporters with our mission to eliminate racism and empower women and girls, while creating meaningful engagement through technology.

Help support our mission by joining us on May 18!
