RAWS Summer Mixer Vol. 2 returns this July—bringing together a distinguished community for connection, impact, and celebration at The Old Club, a private, members-only destination nestled on Harsen’s Island.

This invite-only experience is designed with intention and exclusivity in mind.

For our VIP guests, the evening begins before arrival—with exclusive roundtrip transportation aboard a 76-foot yacht, offering a seamless and elevated journey to and from the island.

General attendance requires independent boat access or arrival via ferry, with guests driving to the ferry location and crossing over to the venue.

Invitations will be released soon.

A huge congratulations to our Founder and Executive Director, Kady Cox, for joining the American Diabetes Association’s Regional Advocacy Council! 🎉

From classrooms to communities, Kady’s leadership continues to bridge the gap between education, advocacy, and action.
This opportunity with the ADA reflects the same mission that fuels RAWS — ensuring that every child and family, especially in under-resourced communities, has the knowledge and support to prevent and manage diabetes.

When advocacy meets awareness, real change begins.
