Each year, we invite you to savor a night in the comfort of your home for our annual Stay-at-Home Building Bridges Gala. This year’s gala is themed Pathways of Her Heart for the 2024 International Women’s Day focus on inspiring inclusion. With this theme, we celebrate Friendship Bridge’s clients, whose role as empowered women make them powerful torchbearers by paving inclusive paths for women and future generations.

This year, our virtual Gala will take place on Saturday, March 9 from 6–8pm MT. The evening will showcase brand new videos, a selection of exclusive artisan products from Handmade by Friendship Bridge® clients, and an exciting online auction that’s open to everyone.

We invite you to join us in honoring and celebrating the distinct, heart-led journeys of Friendship Bridge’s clients—these women are the pioneers of empowerment in their communities, embodying the spirit that inspires those around them to create a more inclusive and equitable world.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
