“There are so many extraordinary women in our community. So many accomplishments and also so many issues still to tackle. Let’s not restrict the conversation to one day,” says Guelph YMCA-YWCA CEO, Jim Bonk.

The Guelph Y’s Women of Distinction Gala provides a great opportunity to do just that.

It provides an opportunity for the community to continue to celebrate women who empower and inspire and to keep this important community conversation going.

Tickets for this important community event are now available in person at the Y or online at guelphy.org.

Held on May 5 at the River Run Centre, this year’s Women of Distinction Gala will celebrate 55 outstanding nominees in the fields of: 

·         Arts & Culture

·         Business & Entrepreneurs

·         Education & Training

·         Health, Wellness & Recreation

·         Information Technology

·         Public Sector

·         Science & Research

·         Trades & Labour

Proceeds from the Women of Distinction™ Fundraising Gala fund the Guelph Y Teenage Parents Program (TAPPs), which offers pregnant and parenting teens a safe, non-judgmental environment where they can gain access to information, resources, and tools to build their parenting skills and reach their full potential.

The YMCA-YWCA of Guelph is a community benefit organization, open to everyone.

Starting with a focus on healthy child, youth and young adult development, we excel in delivering lifelong opportunities for health and personal growth.
