DWC Events
The most important effort of the Destin Woman's Club is fundraising. The Glitz & Glamour Fashion Show has been our capstone event for several years. The proceeds from these events have been donated to support Food for Thought Outreach, Fisher House of the Emerald Coast, Inc., Harvest House, and the Destin Woman's Club Family Assistance Fund. Additionally, we support a self perpetuating scholarship fund at Northwest Florida State College for qualifying local women who strive to re-enter today's competitive workforce.
Thank you to everyone who came to the DWC’s Glitz & Glamour Fashion Show and Luncheon on November 8. It was another sold out event. Proceeds will be split between Food For Thought Outreach Inc and the DWC Family Assistance Fund. Helping struggling families in our area is our passion. And a special thank you […]
