✨When Women Gather, Opportunity Grows.✨

Our Summer Garden Party was more than a beautiful afternoon — it was an incredible celebration of connection, collaboration, generosity, and women investing in women!🌸

Together as a community, we cultivated a sold out crowd of contributors; all showing up in support of and empowering woman!🫶🏻

We raised an additional $3,700 through our GoFundMe campaign to benefit — while continuing to donate over 225 pieces of professional clothing and styles towards women stepping confidently into their next chapter.

From the beautiful fashion show, to the meaningful conversations around every table; this gathering was a perfect reflection of what becomes possible when women bring their hearts, voices, businesses, and communities together for a greater purpose.

To every guest, donor, partner, and friend who helped bring this beautiful day to life: thank you!

You are part of this movement — and we are only just getting started! We can’t thank you enough & look forward to seeing you all next time!🤍

Because when women gather, OPPORTUNITY GROWS!✨

What happens when women come together with purpose?

✨ A woman-owned fashion brand.
✨ A nonprofit investing in women.
✨ A community that believes every woman deserves the opportunity to thrive.

In this clip, Director of Public Relations, Natalie Morris, shares why our partnership with means so much.

The right outfit is about so much more than fashion. It’s the moment a woman looks in the mirror and sees possibility instead of doubt. It’s the shift in her posture as she walks into an interview feeling prepared, worthy, and seen. It’s the quiet confidence that replaces uncertainty as she steps into a new job, a new path, or a fresh start—knowing she belongs there. For many women, it’s not just clothing—it’s a turning point that helps them reclaim their voice and step fully into their future.

That’s why this Saturday’s Garden Party at The King’s Lakehouse is so special.

Together, , , , , , , are creating an afternoon of beauty, connection, and purpose—benefiting women working toward becoming fully self-sufficient.

When women support women-owned businesses…
When businesses invest in nonprofits…
When communities come together…

Lives change.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this meaningful moment—join us this Saturday, bring a friend, and help create real change for women in our community. 🌿💗

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day!

This Fourth of July is especially meaningful as we celebrate 250 years of the American story—a legacy built on courage, hope, freedom, and opportunity.

As we gather with family, friends, and neighbors, we’re reminded that one of America’s greatest strengths is its people… and the communities that come together to lift one another up.

From Karen Butera King, our Board of Directors, and all of us at OC Women2Women, we wish you a joyful, safe, and meaningful Independence Day.

May we continue to Inspire, Empower, and Invest in women—because when women rise, communities flourish.

THE WOMAN WHO...
Believed every voice mattered.

"Our voices matter. All voices matter.
~ Jerri Rosen
Founder, Working Wardrobes

Some women build organizations.
Others build movements.
Jerri Rosen built both.

Long before "collaboration" became a buzzword, Jerri understood that confidence could transform a woman's future. Through Working Wardrobes, she restored far more than professional wardrobes-she restored dignity, hope, and opportunity.

That vision found a kindred spirit in Karen Butera King, founder of OC Women2Women.

For years, these two women have shared a belief that has never gone out of style.

When women invest in women, entire communities become stronger.

Their friendship became a partnership.
Their partnership became a legacy.

Today, OC Women2Women is honored to continue walking alongside Working Wardrobes-bringing women together to connect, collaborate, and invest in brighter futures.

Because voices don't become louder when they compete.

They become more powerful when they unite.

Here's to the women who use their voices to help another woman find hers.

The Woman Who...
An OC Women2Women series celebrating women whose courage, compassion, and collaboration continue to inspire Orange County and beyond.
