To the Editor: 

The YWCA Princeton launched Women’s History Month on March 1 with the celebration of the 29th Annual Tribute to Women Awards Dinner. This evening highlighted the personal and professional achievements of 12 area women and their commitment to the YWCA’s mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. With the help of this community, the event was an incredible success, raising nearly $80,000 to support the YWCA Princeton’s programming and services.

Countless community partners were involved in making this event a success, and the YWCA Princeton appreciates their support and generosity. We would like to thank nearly 400 community residents in attendance at the event; our event sponsors Bill and Judy Scheide, NRG Energy, WithumSmith+Brown, and the Times of Trenton; as well as event in-kind donors Jill Jachera and Monday Morning Flower and Balloon Company.
