2024 FUNDRAISING GALA
This year, our Gala will take place on November 8, 2024, at the picturesque Harborside Golf Course in Chicago, IL, from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. The theme of our Gala, “Believe, Become, and Belong: Empowering Women, One Pathway at a Time” resonates deeply with our commitment to fostering belief in oneself, empowering women to become their best selves, and creating a sense of belonging within our community.
Ava’s Pathways, a 501c3, is dedicated to supporting women from all walks of life on their journey towards empowerment and fulfillment. Through our array of health and wellness workshops, financial support initiatives, and life coaching programs, we strive to equip women with the tools and resources they need to thrive personally and professionally.
The gala supports the mission of our vital work of empowering women and making a tangible difference in their lives. With your support, you are not only investing in the future of individual women but also in the betterment of our community as a whole.
Our gala will help support three primary initiatives:
- Award 3-4 sponsorships ranging from $500-$1000
- Host 4 inspiring wellness workshops
- Subsidize the cost of life and wellness coaching for women
Our ambitious goal is to reach and support 500 women over the next 12 months, helping them build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
