The YWCA Celebrates 100 Years of Service to Women and Families. Please join us in our year-long celebration honoring the history of empowering women and families in San Diego.
The YWCA of San Diego County hosts two annual fund-raising events every year, each of which honors women who are making a difference in our community in addition to raising money to support our programs and services.
To view photos of our events and activities, visit our photo gallery.
In 1980, the YWCA pioneered an excellent program to augment the efforts of companies in recognizing their female employees for outstanding achievements - an effort that introduced the YWCA’s Tribute to Women & Industry (TWIN) to the San Diego community.
Today, the luncheon spotlights women who are honored by their firm’s executives, co-workers, families and friends. Employers receive special recognition for their leadership role in providing advancement opportunities for women in the workplace.
In the past twenty-eight years, TWIN has paid tribute to 2,348 outstanding businesswomen, and has raised more than $1.8 million to support YWCA programs.
Mark your calendars and join us for TWIN 2008

The event is a very light-hearted approach to a very serious subject and increases awareness of how domestic violence impacts individuals and families.
