Watch Her Rise.
Join us for an unforgettable evening in support of the next generation of strong, smart, and bold leaders. The Watch Her Rise Gala features an elegant dinner, signature cocktails, a curated auction, and dancing, including music by DJ Darla Bea and emceed by Courtney Rainwater, all in celebration of Girls Inc. of Carpinteria’s 50-year legacy of empowering girls in our community.
This year, we are proud to honor Cheryl and Paul Wright, longtime champions of youth and community. Paul is the owner and co-founder of Island Brewing Company, a locally rooted business known for its commitment to giving back. Together, Cheryl and Paul’s dedication to investing in young people reflects the heart and mission of Girls Inc.
Every ticket purchased and every bid placed directly supports Girls Inc. of Carpinteria programs, including after-school enrichment, leadership development, and college and career readiness. When you invest in her today, you empower a leader tomorrow.
Watch Her Rise.
I would love to be on the Events Committee!
