WomanUP! Hat & Tea Party
Enjoy a luxurious afternoon tea party in the garden to celebrate local women who are making a difference by stepping up in their communities, businesses, and society. Honorees are women often unrecognized for their service or advocacy and who unify neighborhoods, volunteer regularly at their places of worship, or open doors to those in need. The day will include great food, live entertainment, and an awards presentation, with all proceeds benefiting the Sankofa Community Farm at Bartram’s Garden.
