Welcome to The Sisterhood Soiree

Thank you so much for being here tonight. This page has everything you need for the evening — from the menu and programme to the raffle and more. I hope you have the most wonderful time. Enjoy every moment.

Leave Your Mark

You will find a Sisterhood Tree in the corner of the room. At some point during the evening we would love for you to take a moment to write a small message — something kind, encouraging, empowering, or something you wish more women were reminded of more often.

The messages will be collected into a scrapbook and given to the founder of A-Sisterhood to take on one of their next outreach trips, where they will be shared directly with the women they support. Your words will genuinely be read by women who may really need to hear them.

Available throughout the evening

Raffle tickets are available to purchase throughout the evening. We have a card machine available so you can pay by card. Tickets will be sold at the entrance and circulated around the tables during dinner. The raffle draw takes place at 9:30 PM.

Standing in Solidarity

Across the world, many women still face barriers to opportunity, education, and support. This event is about coming together to change that — to stand in solidarity, to raise awareness, and to contribute to a future where women are empowered to build better lives for themselves and their communities.

When women are supported, they do not just transform their own lives — they uplift entire communities.

We Sold Out — Thank You

This evening sold out entirely thanks to your incredible support. Over 122 guests came together for this cause and that means everything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of The Sisterhood Soiree.
