Last night, Foundation SCA held their third annual benefit gala. The theme, "Investing in the whole woman," was a nod to the foundation's mission to empower women all over the globe.
The beautiful Organization of American States Building, and their hall of international flags, opened their doors to the event. It kicked off at 7 p.m. to a room full of VIPs and socials committed to bettering the world through innovative education methods for women.
Guests enjoyed wine and delicious passed hors d'oeuvres, and remarks by businessman and philanthropist Ed Scott.
Foundation SCA is an independent non-profit organization chartered in the United States in 2008. SCA collaborates with local organizations on a global scale to empower women within their communities. Currently, SCA funds educational programs in Cameroon, Guatemala, Kenya, Slovenia, Poland, Russia, Chicago and Washington, D.C. that provide professional skills and training, high school/college scholarships, and character development.
"SCA is into helping women and girls in poverty to get out of the cycle of poverty through education, training, and personal development. These women then help their families and their communities to rise from poverty as well. We call it the 'multiplier effect,'" said project coordinator Lizzie Lipovsky.
