YWCA Events
In addition to sharing and educating about domestic violence in our community, we host signature events that uplift inspiring survivors who’ve transformed their own lives and elevate community individuals who’ve shaped lives of empowerment.
Giving Hearts Day
Giving Hearts Day is a 24-hour fundraising event for charities in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota. This annual giving day in February inspires the Fargo-Moorhead community (residents and businesses alike) to support local nonprofits.
YWCA Women of the Year presented by Sanford Health
Since 1973, YWCA Women of the Year has honored over 2,000 inspiring women whose passion, service, and achievements shape the Fargo-Moorhead community. This signature event, held in April, carries a legacy of celebrating leadership and impact. Nominations for YWCA Women of the Year open each January.
Cherries for Charity
For over 40 years, Hornbacher’s has hosted Cherries for Charity in July benefitting YWCA Cass Clay and RACC of Fargo-Moorhead. YWCA volunteers and staff help serve samples at Hornbacher’s locations across the community with a portion of all proceeds supporting the work of YWCA Cass Clay.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month
YWCAs and other service providers unite nationwide to raise awareness about the cycle of violence each October. Locally, in our mission to respond to the needs of survivors of violence, we raise awareness with a focus on violence prevention and work to mobilize our community against violence.
Holidays at YWCA
The holidays bring forth an outpouring of kindness and generosity from our community! Whether adopting a family, filling a home with hope, or stuffing the bus, our generous supporters ensure no holiday passes without joy or celebration for women and children served by YWCA Cass Clay.
YWCA Chocolate for Change presented by SCHEELS
This drop-in lunchtime event features charitable businesses and individuals coming together in support of YWCA. Area restaurants, businesses, and bakers donate a variety of sweet treats and chili, and an online silent auction full of items donated by our generous community raises vital funds for our mission.
