Come Get the Message at the Center for Women’s Re-Dedication Party

The organization has been helping Lowcountry women succeed, professionally and personally, through programs, services, and events. In a nation (and especially a region) where women are still struggling for equality, the C4W is taking “small steps to make a big change.” The organization plans to share the strides they’ve made during this event.
The party will be held at the Lighthouse on Shem Creek beginning at 5 pm. Local singer Lily Slay (The Royal Tinfoil) will be performing during the event.
Single tickets are $45, while two are discounted to $75 total. Business attire is recommended.To purchase tickets or learn more about C4W, visit their website or call 843-224-2610. For updates, check out the event page on Facebook.

THE GOOD
- In SC, women-owned firms grew by 64% between 1997 and 2011 compared to 50% nationally
