Join Us in Empowering Courage: Annual Fundraiser Gala - Walk a Mile in My “Heals” for Courageous Women Association

Each year, the Courageous Women Association (CWA) unites supporters, survivors, community leaders, and changemakers to advance a powerful mission: to help women and children break free from cycles of violence, exploitation, homelessness, and systemic injustice—and to rise with strength, dignity, and purpose. As we launch our Annual Fundraiser, we invite you to become a part of this vital movement.

This year, our goal is ambitious yet deeply necessary: to raise $150,000 in support of our transformative programs and services that directly uplift survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, and the overlooked realities of incarceration and homelessness. These funds are critical to sustaining and expanding the reach of our work, especially during times when the need is urgent and the resources are limited.

Founded in 2008, Courageous Women Association has stood as a beacon of hope for over a decade—offering transitional housing through The Courage House, career readiness and economic empowerment education, peer-to-peer healing through Sister-to-Sister support groups, and restorative care events like A Day of Pampering. Each initiative is designed to encourage healing, inspire independence, and empower lasting change.

But we cannot do this alone.

This fundraiser is more than a call for generosity—it’s a call for action. When you give, you are directly contributing to a woman’s journey from trauma to transformation. You are helping to provide a warm bed to someone escaping violence. You are funding job training that opens doors to new futures. You are making it possible for a mother to provide a safe, stable life for her children. Every dollar becomes a brick in the foundation of someone’s new beginning.

We are calling on individuals, organizations, and businesses to stand with us. Whether you give $25 or $25,000, host a peer-to-peer fundraiser, sponsor an event, or become a corporate ally—your involvement is essential.

Together, we can raise $150,000 and reinvest it directly into the lives and futures of women and children who deserve a life of dignity, safety, and opportunity.

This is not charity. This is community. This is courage in action.

Join us. Share in the mission. Stand in solidarity. Because when women rise, communities rise with them.
