Join us for our Intercultural Gala where you can experience the richness of a culture and diversity of our city, Toledo. We believe this type of event will provide cross-cultural education and interaction, which will leads to global understanding, innovation and, ultimately, a better, more inclusion community. In addition, this Gala will benefit our general fund and continue to support the organization’s two major programs -Educational Initiatives and Women’s Connection. Learn more about two of our program and services here - Educational Initiatives and Women's Connection.
