A Fall Soirée 2022
SEPTEMBER 27
Please join the Women’s Prison Association (WPA) for our Fall Soirée on Tuesday, September 27 at Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg in celebration of our 176 years of advancing safety, freedom, and independence for systems-involved women. Guests will celebrate the night with artisanal wines, light bites, and an auction to support WPA’s efforts to end the criminalization of women. All proceeds from our Soirée will go toward our innovative programming to advance our mission.
2022 TCS New York City Marathon
NOVEMBER 6
WPA is once again an official charity partner of the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon––the largest marathon in the world! Last year, our team raised over $25,000 to support WPA’s critical programs—from secure housing acquisition and employment assistance to mental health support and alternatives to incarceration. Recruitment for this year’s team is now complete and all charity spots accounted for but if you pre-qualified and are interested in fundraising for WPA, please email Rebecca (Bek) Pak, Director of Donor Engagement. We can't wait for #TeamWPA to run on Sunday, November 6!
