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.
Sponsoring or underwriting an HJWC marquee event is a powerful way to support a local organization dedicated to creating positive change. By partnering with us, your business gains visibility among community-minded members who value and support businesses that invest in local causes. This collaboration amplifies HJWC's efforts to make a meaningful impact, all while showcasing your commitment to the community.

We couldn't do what we do without our wonderful sponsors and underwriters - we are so grateful!
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.
