Friday, October 30
Austin Central Llibrary
An evening of casino games, dinner, dancing, and a silent auction. A portion of the evening's proceeds supports our grant recipients.
The Evening
Texas Women in Business is throwing its first fundraiser gala, and we are not doing it quietly.
Four gaming tables. Professional dealers. A DJ and a dance floor. A buffet dinner and an open bar. A silent auction stocked with things people actually want to bid on.
Bring your partner. Bring your business. Bring the friend who has been meaning to check out TWIB and never quite got around to it.
One night. One room. One very good cause.
Dinner, Drinks, and Dancing
Buffet dinner. Open bar. Four casino tables. A dance floor that will not let you sit still.
DJ Just Drew will have you dancing the night away. Twenty years behind the decks, resident DJ for Rodeo Austin and Kalahari Resorts, with stage credits alongside Usher and Leon Bridges. Open format all night. Rock, hip-hop, pop, EDM.
Dress the part. Semi-formal in red, black, or white.
Silent Auction
We are still building the auction, and we would love to include you. Members and non-members are both welcome to donate, and every donor is credited by name on the item.
We are looking for items valued at $100 or more. Have something smaller? Combine a few of your products into a gift basket and it counts.
