​ABOUT THE 23rd ANNIVERSARY GALA
The 23rd Anniversary Gala will be a celebration of all that WHY NOT PROSPER has accomplished in the past 23 years. We are deeply committed to bettering the quality of life of women in Philadelphia, and by extension, their families. This event will give exposure to our services, our immensely talented and strong graduates, and our community, taking the organization into the next era of accomplishment.
 
We anticipate this celebratory event to become WHY NOT PROSPER’s largest fundraising event of the year and are looking to engage individuals, businesses, foundations and other organizations in our work. The event will serve as an annual convening of supporters, graduates, clients, service providers and others - in and outside of the criminal justice system. We further expect that funding from this important even will position WHY NOT PROSPER to expand services and help even more women in the future.
 
The event will provide an opportunity to highlight community and organizational leaders and most importantly, the women we serve.
​
The event will be capped with a graduation ceremony for women who have successfully completed the WHY NOT PROSPER program.
