Soroptimist International of Valencia Presents "Gentlemen for a Cause: an Evening in Monte Carlo"
The 11th-annual Gentlemen for a Cause: an Evening in Monte Carlo is scheduled for Sunday, May 22 - and you're not going to want to miss all the casino play, cocktails and live and silent auctions!
The proceeds from this event support Soroptimist International of Valencia's two signature programs "Live Your Dream" and "Dream It, Be It" - as well as the partners for this event, Single Mothers Outreach and Child & Family Center.
Support SCV Women & Girls
Gentlemen for the Cause is critical for the support of "Live Your Dream" and "Dream It, Be It" - two cornerstone programs for local women and teens. The Soroptimist "Live Your Dream" Awards assist women who provide the primary source of financial support for their families by giving them the resources they need to improve their education, skills and employment prospects. "Dream It, Be It" targets girls in secondary school who face obstacles to their future success by providing them with access to professional role models, career education and the resources to live their dreams.
