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.
Our annual Glitz & Glamour Fashion Show and Luncheon was a sellout and a complete smash!! Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, bought an item, or volunteered. Proceeds will be presented to Food for Thought and the DWC Family Assistance Fund, which assists struggling families in our area, in early 2024.
