Last Saturday IPWS hosted a celebratory White Party Brunch to help support a future for young women in China. We enjoyed a beautiful day at the newly opened Greek Cultural Center, Hellas House, as we raised funds for the World Academy for the Future of Women (WAFW) through a raffle & silent auction, and indulged in a free-flow buffet of Greek food, wine and bubbles.

As we were fundraising for the WAFW, White Party guests had the opportunity to win amazing prizes worth nearly 30,000 RMB from our raffle sponsors, as well as bid on unique dresses from our collaborating Shanghai based designers in the silent auction.

The World Academy for the Future of Women (WAFW) is a bold and daring leadership program focused on developing young women for leadership roles that will address and achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The purpose of World Academy is to advance and accelerate women’s leadership worldwide. IPWS supports WAFW throughout the year with two paid intern positions in 2018 filled by WAFW Graduates.
