As we celebrate National Mentoring Month & honor Dr. Martin Luther King's National Day of Service, we cordially invite you to be a part of our network of philanthropy by joining us Monday, January 16, 2023.  The venue is Pillars International, 232 W. Adams Street, the time is 5pm for the Meet and Greet and 6pm for the presentation!

As a nonprofit sponsor for ThinkBold Festival & Conference, we are hosting January's Monthly Mixer. In celebration of Dr. King's dream to bring people together to understand the importance of philanthropy-giving one's time, talent, and treasure. We implore you join us to learn more about giving to our youth and young adults, and the ways you can accomplish this by participating in the ThinkBold Festival through our network of philanthropy or as your own sponsor. By joining this movement, you are helping make Jacksonville and this country and ultimately, this world, a better place!!!

Too often, students in their community and graduates from college leave their cities and communities to go elsewhere to find opportunities for themselves and their families. As BOLD thinkers, our goal is to expose our future leaders to all the industries, business opportunities, and support available to them right here!! As nonprofit organizations, community leaders, churches and small business owners, Essence of a Lady's purpose is to bring each of you together as philanthropists to provide scholarships, sponsorship, mentorship, apprenticeship and internship to these youth and young adults. Remember, TEAM is an acronym for Together Each Achieves More!!

By joining Essence of a Lady's network of philanthropy, the Essence Ladies Network (E'Ladies Network) or Empowering Men's Network (E'Men Network), you get the benefits of not just this event, but the benefits of events for 2023!! Check out the levels of participation here.

For your support, we provide you opportunities to network, market and promote your business...That's a WIN-WIN for you NOW and in the FUTURE!!

Let's kick off 2023 and show the world how philanthropy is for you and me!
