Wednesday, October 26

Starts 6:30PM

The Lighthouse
Pier 61, Manhattan

On a balmy October evening—and for the first time since the start of the pandemic—we welcomed 360 guests back to The Lighthouse in New York City to celebrate Womankind's 40th Anniversary! After being apart the last two galas, our hearts were brimming with joy to be in the same room and bask in the warmth of new and old friends, allies, and supporters once again.

The gala raised a historic and record-breaking $760,000—a reaffirmation of our community's collective commitment to building a solid foundation for Womankind's work with survivors of gender-based violence and their children, for decades to come. THANK YOU for standing with Womankind as we Rise Above Violence!
