WE ARE WOMEN UNITED

Women United is a dynamic donor network within United Way of West Florida, uniting passionate leaders dedicated to driving meaningful, lasting change across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

That’s what UNITED truly means.

Past Women United Events

Cake Decorating Event! 🍰

Our Women United cake decorating event was a wonderful success! It was a fantastic evening of fun and collaboration, bringing together a great group of women to get creative and, most importantly, make new friends.

Thank you to The Makery in Pace for hosting us and to everyone who joined us for a night of community and sweet treats!

Books and Bouquets Event

Our hearts are full after last Thursday’s Women United "Books & Bouquets" social! It was a beautiful evening of friendship and philanthropy as members gathered to connect, design stunning flower arrangements, and craft friendship bracelets.

A massive thank you to everyone who contributed to our book drive for Valerie’s House—your generosity will bring comfort and joy to local children and families. We also want to extend our sincere gratitude to Hummingbird Flowers and Events for being such incredible hosts and providing the perfect backdrop for creativity and community.

Thank you to all the amazing women who joined us and reminded us that United is the way!
