Benefit the Community: Ways to Give Back
Below are some of the ways you may be able to help HJWC in our pursuit to benefit our community.
Partner with us as an event sponsor and align your business or family name with one of our signature HJWC fundraising events. HJWC has a long-standing tradition of service and philanthropy, and with the invaluable support of local businesses, we successfully raised over $200,000 during the 2024-2025 club year, to fund critical initiatives that benefit women and children. Every year we strive to make a profound impact in the community, and with your help, through sponsorship and underwriting, we can do even more.
Sponsorship opportunities include recognition in event materials, community exposure, and the chance to engage directly with our members and guests - all while contributing to a meaningful cause.
Visibility and Philanthropy: Sponsor HJWC's Annual Events
HJWC hosts four marquee fundraising events each club year—one for each season. The Ladies Who Lead Luncheon kicks off the year in the summer with an inspiring panel of community leaders. In the fall, the Fore Her Future Golf Outing raises funds for our annual scholarships. Winter brings the festive Jingle Dash Fun-Run, and we close the year with our signature Fund the Grants Gala in the spring, supporting our community grants program.
Each event offers local businesses an opportunity to support HJWC’s 501(c)(3) mission—funding scholarships and grants—while gaining visibility among our engaged membership and broader community. Learn more about each marquee event, including opportunities for underwriting and sponsorship, below.
Ladies Who Lead Luncheon
HJWC's Ladies Who Lead Luncheon kicks off the club year each June with an empowering afternoon featuring a panel of inspiring women leaders from our community. This elegant event brings members and guests together to celebrate leadership, connection, and the start of a new season of service. Proceeds support HJWC’s mission to fund grants that uplift women, children, and families in need. A special thank you to Molly Grace Photography for beautifully capturing this meaningful event.
Stay tuned for details on the next Ladies Who Lead Luncheon.
Fore Her Future Golf Outing
HJWC’s Education Committee proudly introduced its inaugural Fore Her Future Golf Outing Presented by Napleton Westmont Porsche, a new fundraising event supporting our scholarship and grant programs. Through the generosity of our sponsors and attendees, the outing raised impactful funds that allowed us to award four $5,000 scholarships to deserving recipients this club year. We are grateful for the continued opportunity to uplift and empower the next generation of philanthropic leaders.
Hosted each fall at the beautiful Ruffled Feathers Golf Course, the Fore Her Future Golf Outing brings together fun, friendship, and community impact. We extend our sincere thanks to our sponsors, vendors, and golfers for supporting education, empowerment, and meaningful change in our community. A special thank you to GCP By Nicole Photography for capturing the day!
