Celebrate Women, June 13, 2018
The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW - Sudbury), in partnership with the YWCA and the Women’s Legal, Education, and Action Fund (LEAF) presented the 23nd annual Celebrate Women on June 13th at Laurentian University’s Fraser Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. This event provides an opportunity for a female Canadian author to feature her latest book.
Celebrate Women includes a brief performance by Nickel City Sound, the author's talk, a reception, book signing, and free parking - all for only $10. Funds raised support scholarships totalling $7000 to young women in Sudbury. .
In addition to attending Celebrate Women 2018, another way to support the work of CFUW Sudbury, YWCA Sudbury, and LEAF Sudbury is through a book sponsorship. For a $100 contribution, a copy of Better Now: Six Big Ideas to Improve Healthcare for all Canadians will be placed in a secondary school, post-secondary, or public library of your choice, and your support is recognized with a dedication in the book. Individuals, groups, and businesses often choose to honour or remember friends, family, and colleagues in this way.
