Galentine’s Day Recap: A Night of Connection, Celebration, and Community

By Meaghan Dunham Arena

The Women’s Impact Fund recently gathered for a heartwarming Galentine’s Day celebration, bringing together a dynamic group of women dedicated to philanthropy and community impact. Hosted in the private event space at Birdsong Brewing in NoDa, the evening was filled with laughter, connection, and a shared commitment to making a difference.

With about 40 women in attendance, the event welcomed new members, seasoned veterans, Spark Award winners, and Nonprofit Partners—a true reflection of the powerful network of women who drive our mission forward. It was an opportunity for both fresh faces and long-standing members to connect, exchange stories, and celebrate the impact we create together.

As guests enjoyed craft brews and a deliciously curated candy bar, thoughtfully put together by our Membership Committee, the room buzzed with energy and excitement for the year ahead. Conversations flowed effortlessly, reinforcing the deep bonds that make the Women’s Impact Fund such a special community.

Galentine’s Day was more than just a celebration—it was a reminder of the strength of women supporting women. Whether through philanthropy, mentorship, or friendship, the connections made at this event will continue to inspire and shape our collective impact.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and to those who worked behind the scenes to make this event a success! We can’t wait for the next opportunity to gather, give back, and grow together.
