11TH Annual Sole Sisters Luncheon with Arianna Huffington benefiting Greenwich United Way

Sole Sisters is a Greenwich United Way women’s initiative that primarily hosts an annual luncheon to fundraise for Greenwich United Way. Since its inception 10 years ago, this event has raised over $1million in support of the Greenwich United Way’s efforts. While the Luncheon features a fashion and home accessories boutique, most importantly, there is always a notable guest keynote speaker that inspires the crowd of up to 400 women and men attending. This year Arianna Huffington will speak and attendees will all receive a signed copy of her latest book, The Sleep Revolution.

Additional Information: Some of the most rising needs in Greenwich are identified by Greenwich United Way’s 2016 Needs Assessment. These needs include the Achievement Gap and Youth in Crisis. Needs Assessment research gives insight into the more urgent, unmet needs in Greenwich, such as youth dealing with substance abuse, mental health issues and bullying. Comprehensive research conducted by Greenwich United Way also found that families are struggling for basic human requirements like paying for housing, food or transportation.
