In addition, the organization supports local education and work training facilities by awarding grants to be utilized in the Coachella Valley, with the goal of also growing our economy as a whole.
Club Cabana, Unleashed & Uncorked! takes place at Toscana Country Club, located at 76009 Via Club Villa in Indian Wells on February 6 at 6:30 p.m. This event is open to the public and tickets are $75 per person.

While providing educational grants to women to achieve their educational goals, the organization also celebrates and explores the powerful influence women have on each other’s lives through building friendships, and sharing experiences.
