Tennis legend Chris Evert is the keynote speaker at the 2024 Executive Women’s Day
Fort Worth, Texas – February 16, 2024 -- What started out 11 years ago as a luncheon to connect women in business during the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial, Executive Women’s Day (EWD) has grown to become Fort Worth’s elite power event for celebrating, empowering and inspiring women, and it is also making a charitable impact on the community.
This year’s Executive Women’s Day is Tuesday, May 21 during the 78th Charles Schwab Challenge PGA TOUR tournament at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth. EWD is a forum that brings together hundreds of local business leaders and innovators for corporate dialogue, networking, idea sharing and development.
Chris Evert, Keynote Speaker A trademark of EWD is the marquee keynote speakers featured at the event including Annika Sorenstam and Cynt Marshall, CEO of the Dallas Mavericks in recent years. This year is no exception as female tennis Hall of Famer Chris Evert will headline this year’s EWD at Colonial.
Gold sponsorships are available for EWD which includes one table for eight at the event, valet parking passes on EWD day and a number of added value premiums. See Executive Women's Day 2024 | Charles Schwab Challenge.
EWD and its “Help A Sister Up” Fundraising Campaign In 2023 through a newly-formed partnership between EWD and Fort Worth Colonial Charities Inc., a total of $75,000 was raised to support The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tarrant County ($40,000) and The Women’s Center of Tarrant County ($35,000) through a fundraising campaign titled “Help A Sister Up.”
EWD and Fort Worth Colonial Charities Inc. have a three-year commitment to support these two local charities that “Help A Sister Up” through programs that align with EWD and FWCC’s missions and specifically support local women and girls. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tarrant County and The Women’s Center of Tarrant County donations will exceed $500,000 in charitable impact over the three years
“After seeing how the donations impacted these charities last year, EWD made it a priority to continue the financial support. It is an excellent example of empowering women to use their wealth and power to uplift other women and girls in our local community,” commented Julie Butner, Executive Women’s Day Chair.
“The alliance with Executive Women’s Day provided the perfect opportunity for Fort Worth Colonial Charities to expand our outreach of providing financial support to local non-profit organizations like The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tarrant County and The Women’s Center of Tarrant County that positively impact the lives of many. This is a special program and we are honored to be a part of it,” said Rob Hood, President of Fort Worth Colonial Charities Inc.
Special Event in March To kick-off the 2024 “Help A Sister Up” fundraising for the two charities, Executive Women’s Day has introduced Uncorked for Charity Women’s Golf Invitational to be held on March 20 at the Perot family’s Circle T Ranch in Westlake.
The golf and networking event offers playing spots ($150 each) on the Gil Hanse-designed 9-hole par 3 course and a short game clinic ($100 each), along with a reception with drinks and hors d’oeuvres following golf.
