Women of Excellence

Become a Sponsor:

Year after year, sponsorships from community members and businesses like YOU allow this event to continue.

Women of Excellence is not just a celebration of these remarkable women, but it is also YWCA St. Joseph’s largest annual fundraiser. Funds raised provide shelter and other vital support services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, as well as homeless women and children. Since opening our shelter in 1981, YWCA St. Joseph has been a beacon of hope and safety for countless women and children in need.

Your support of this community celebration benefits our Emergency Shelter for Women and Children. The document linked below details the many benefits of becoming a sponsor. Additionally, sponsorships and contributions of $100 or more are eligible for a 70% Missouri Domestic Violence Shelter Tax Credit (credit is calculated on the contribution minus any value of goods/services received, i.e. table seats, memorabilia, etc.)

As an esteemed sponsor, you champion both YWCA St. Joseph and the Women of Excellence honorees while also enhancing your visibility and gaining recognition for your commitment to our community. Join us in making a difference – become a sponsor today and help us celebrate the extraordinary women who inspire us all!
