Circle of Women

Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Circle of Women!

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. This year, we’re celebrating 25 years of this event, the lives changed and the progress made over the decades.

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

Help support our mission by becoming an ambassador and joining us on May 18!

Date: Tuesday, May 18
Time: 6:00 – 6:45 pm
