Join us for JWFA Impacts! 2024, honoring Enid Draluck and featuring special guest speaker, award-winning playwright and activist, V (Eve Ensler)!

For the past 12 years, Jewish Women’s Fund of Atlanta (JWFA) has been the first and only organization in Atlanta with a mission dedicated to social change for Jewish women and girls. In that time, we have grown exponentially. Today, we’re proud to say that JWFA has allocated over $2 million in grants to enable women and girls in the Jewish community locally, nationally, and in Israel to reach their strongest potential. This success comes from both financial investment and passionate leadership.

No one personifies passionate leadership more than Enid Draluck.

Thanks to Enid, along with investing in organizations working toward social change, JWFA also invests in women’s personal development and empowerment through our Agents of Change Training (ACT) program. Her commitment to supporting women who can harness their energy and find their strengths to make a lasting difference is why JWFA is delighted to honor Enid Draluck and celebrate our bat mitzvah at JWFA IMPACTS! on the evening of April 11, 2024. Sponsors will gather for a VIP toast, followed by a seated program in The Temple’s beautiful and historic sanctuary, and culminating in a delicious dessert reception.

We invite you to support JWFA’s work toward social change and to honor Enid by becoming a JWFA IMPACTS! Sponsor.  Along with celebrating our stellar honoree and hearing from our special guest, award-winning playwright and activist, V (Eve Ensler), your participation makes it possible for JWFA to continue to provide programs that enlighten and educate, offer opportunities for leadership and service, and lead the way toward a better future for our daughters and granddaughters. Your sponsorship will be used to help clear the way for more girls’ and women’s voices and action at a time when it is so desperately needed.
