The WOMEN of COURAGE gala celebration is our favorite night of the year. The annual fundraising event honors progress and advancement as we all work towards a different kind of society. Each year, the Center recognizes tenacious leaders working within Washington State who share a commitment to support the advancement of so many people who are disadvantaged in some way. We honor these courageous people with an evening of fun, food, dancing, and awards.
