Our Gala featured local women modeling cultural attire along with International selection of foods provided by local restaurants. Joined by 200 community members, we explore different cuisine and explore your world with fashion.   

 

Goals & Objective

This is a great event 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.
