The world is yours.

Dear Partners, What can a daring, strategic, passionately imagined institution like the YWCA Greater Los Angeles do for the community you live in? It can gather our communities around a common goal: to provide a voice for the voiceless. It can also expand our ability to deliver workforce development and educational opportunities to a society that couldn’t access it otherwise. It can jump-start our initiatives to build a better tomorrow.

In support of all these progressive programs, YWCA Greater Los Angeles is beyond thrilled and proud to present the 2015 Rhapsody Gala on November 13th.

We hope you, your family and fellow colleagues join the YWCA Greater Los Angeles for an evening of elegance, illusion and imagination. There are many ways to show appreciation for those individuals in your life that have made your life more valuable. This year at the Rhapsody Gala you can express the honor and the appreciation, to all those special people in your life.

We would like to thank you for your support and celebrate our collaborative efforts by dedicating an evening to you. We feel honored to have the ability to extend special thanks to our donors and partners who generously give of their resources and support to the community we serve. As our partnerships grow, so does our ability to tackle 21st-century challenges.

The Rhapsody Gala will include a gourmet dinner, live music, spectacles, live auction, and much more. We will present several prestigious awards to those that have given a voice to the voiceless and truly distinguished themselves in the community, through philanthropic and business initiatives that impact the advancement of the disadvantaged.

Furthermore, the Rhapsody Gala is one of the premier events in the Los Angeles area, hosted at the Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills. Our event attracts approximately 750 of the most powerful and influential business and community leaders, celebrities, and legislators, who are also passionate about solving the significant issues of the public.

For over 120 years, the YWCA GLA has been striving for excellence and forging through the barriers of racism and injustice to educate and empower the community.

We continue to serve our community and we shed light on issues long-ignored. We are committed to invest in career and college readiness skills for at-risk youth through our workforce development and Job Corps programs, nurture the healthy growth and development of youth and family, to heal survivors of sexual assault, and to connect senior adults with learning experiences and social activities. Along the journey, we have reached incredible milestones by directly responding to those that need help the most.

All of us in your YWCA Greater Los Angeles family are exceedingly appreciative for your philanthropy. Let’s have a spectacular evening together filled with people like YOU that are actively making changes in the community we live in.

IMAGINE. The World is YOURS.

Sincerely,

Faye Washington
