Zonta members were proud to once again be a part of this somber memorial event for those lost to Domestic Violence all across SC in 2025. We look forward to the day this event no longer needs to be held...

We are excited for the newest round of "Enhancing Your Assets" at Killingsworth Home. Our newest student nurses from USC, Dayna and Bailey, were joined by 2 of our Zonta members and a guest for a discussion centered around addiction.
They also talked about what other topics were of interest to them for the rest of this round and we look forward to seeing what will be shared!

We may have forgotten to take pictures, but we certainly shared plenty of information, and made some great connections at The Education Network meeting at EdVenture Children’s Museumeum yesterday!
We thank them for hosting this quarterly event, for our partner Columbia College, SC for including us in their sharing time, and for all the new partners we made yesterday.
We are all so much better together!

We had some unexpected excitement at our Grouchos fundraiser last week and ended up having to leave early after a big storm came through and knocked out power for the whole block!
We thank GM Cullen for donating what was raised up until that point, and allowing us to plan another Give Back Night soon, so stay tuned.

There's still time to grab your denim, grab a ticket and join The Hive Community Circle for their Denim Day fashion show, tomorrow April 29th. Check out their link, and make sure to share your denim wearing pics!

This Wednesday, we’re bringing style, purpose, and community together for a night you don’t want to miss 👖✨🐝

Join us for Denim On Denim, a powerful fashion show raising awareness around sexual assault while celebrating creativity, expression, and community. This event is inspired by Denim Day, a global movement that began as a protest against victim blaming and stands as a symbol of support for survivors of sexual violence. Wearing denim is a way to stand in solidarity and spark important conversations 💛

This is more than a runway, it’s a moment to show up, uplift survivors, and turn awareness into action. Come dressed in your best denim, bring your energy, and be part of a night filled with fashion, connection, and impact.

Tickets are still available, so grab yours and join us this Wednesday. Let’s stand together and make a statement 🎉
