Women’s Fund Luncheon

Women (and Allies) Who Support Other Women

Knowing that every win for a woman is a step forward for us all, our signature Women’s Fund Luncheon is the largest fundraiser event in the Fox Valley and an empowering voice for women and girls in our community. The Women’s Fund Luncheon highlights and fuels the work that we do, uplifting women and girls in our community to reach their limitless potential. With urgency and heartfelt storytelling, we spark hope, inspire action and nurture change. 

The 26th annual Women’s Fund Luncheon will be on Thursday, September 10, 2026!

We invite you to partner with us as a sponsor for our 26th annual Women’s Fund Luncheon on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at the Fox Cities Exhibition Center. As our largest fundraiser of the year, this milestone event attracts 1,000 community members and changemakers dedicated to dismantling barriers, challenging the status quo, and stepping into their limitless potential. We offer a variety of sponsorship tiers designed to align with your organization’s goals, providing valuable brand visibility and community engagement benefits while directly supporting impactful local programs. Your partnership is an investment in the future of the Fox Valley, and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can work together to make this our most successful luncheon yet.

Connect with our Development Manager Terri St. Lawrence for questions on supporting the Women’s Fund Luncheon.

Introducing our 2026 Luncheon Speakers!

You heard that right, speakers! For the first time we are inviting three incredible women to the stage to share their story and it perfectly aligns with our mission to empower women and girls in the Fox Valley.

These women have journeyed through life wanting better for other women. Their experiences have inspired them to use their voice to advocate for others who have been in their situation.

Each speaker will align with our mission, to empower women and girls across the Fox Valley to dismantle barriers, challenge the status quo, and step into their limitless potential and how their story connects to it.

We’re excited to introduce to,

  • Alex Klippel, Starting Point graduate and mother who will tell her story of finding belonging.
  • Laura Bell, an Electrician by trade and an advocate for women in construction by choice who will share her story of being a woman in a male-dominated field.
  • Taylor Vande Vyver, a mother who knew we could do better for our kids and child care centers and chose to be a voice for change.

Thank you to our generous sponsors!
