Women of Tomorrow welcomed 175 of South Florida’s leading philanthropists, patrons, sponsors and guests for an afternoon of elegance and fun, including Grand Rose Gold Sponsor Suzy Buckley Woodward, Grand Philanthropy Sponsor Eilah Campbell-Beavers, and Grand Benefactor Sponsor Christina Martin. Guests, clad in rosé-colored attire, enjoyed cocktail hour followed by an exquisite lunch at Japon, for a day filled with high fashion, fabulous food and flowing, The Beach rosé generously donated by Whispering Angel.

Gigi Whitman received the Maria Browne Pink Rose Award in recognition for her dedication and commitment to Women of Tomorrow. During the program, guests had the opportunity to bid on a glamorous three-night escape to an Asheville Mountain Getaway, courtesy of Pearl Baker Katz, an idyllic oceanfront Cat Cay, Bahamas retreat, thanks to Carol Iacovelli, and a Bottega Veneta VIP shopping experience & stay in Venice, Italy.

Women of Tomorrow graduate Rachel Anderson, co-founder of The Enzo Container and leader of Dream Catchers International Academy, inspired the crowd with her touching story of determination and confidence in overcoming a plethora of struggles.

Makeup & hair touchups by Sisley and Mane Muse Salon were a hit, alongside dynamic jewelry & clothing popups by Monisha Melwani and Joju. A highlight of the luncheon was Kei, who live painted a piece of custom Japanese calligraphy.

It was an incredible celebration highlighting ten years of Rosé Day’s impact on our South Florida community!

About Women of Tomorrow Mentor & Scholarship Program

Founded in 1997 by television journalist and author, Jennifer Valoppi, Don Browne, former Telemundo and NBC President, and Miami Dade State Attorney The Honorable Katherine Fernandez Rundle, the Women of Tomorrow® Mentor & Scholarship Program is designed to inspire, motivate and empower at-risk young women to live up to their full potential while being mentored by highly accomplished professional women in their community. Our partner public schools select at-risk girls facing a variety of challenges, such as behavioral, economic, medical, abuse and/or academic to name a few, to join our program. Each mentoring group at each public high school is diverse in its composition with girls in 9th-12th grade who have varying strengths and weaknesses, so they learn not only from their mentors, but from each other as well. This happens through mentoring sessions, college campus visits, career-focused field trips and college scholarship opportunities. Women of Tomorrow® positively transforms the lives of the at-risk girls we serve. Women of Tomorrow® has touched the lives of more than 30,000 high school girls in South Florida and Metro Detroit. Women of Tomorrow® has a network of over 350 professional women who currently mentor approximately 4,000 girls in close to 175 public high schools, with a 99% graduation rate among an at-risk population. More than $9 million college scholarships have been awarded.
