YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. As one of the first multiservice agencies in the Bay Area, and with over 140 years serving the community, YWCA is rooted in a Theory of Change which requires a continuum of response to the challenges of racism, sexism, and gender-based violence. The Inspire Luncheon is an annual fundraising event that has earned its reputation as one of the most powerful nonprofit events in the area. The luncheon is a celebration of the organization’s champions, donors, volunteers and staff, and highlights YWCA’s community impact. Ticket and table purchases help fund YWCA’s support services for survivors.
