YWCA of the City of New York

Summer Soirée

The YWCA of the City of New York Summer Soirée is an inter-generational evening gala that highlights and celebrates the YW’s mission — empowering women and eliminating racism — and all those who support it. Now in its eighth year, Soirée brings together 300-plus friends and supporters. Held on Thursday, June 14, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m., at the Edison Ballroom, the evening will consist of a cocktail reception, the W Award presentation and dancing.

Every year, the Summer Soirée is a great opportunity for friends and supporters of the YW to give back to the community while participating in New York City’s vibrant nightlife. Soirée features our annual W Award presentation and Silent Auction.

Highlights from Last Year’s Summer Soirée

Guests ignited the night at The Edison Ballroom for last year’s Summer Soirée.  The theme of “black and white with a hint of persimmon” was highlighted with music, style, dancing, and smiles that lit up the ballroom for evening of fun and empowerment.
