Women Who Rule Sponsorship

The popular annual Women Who Rule event will be held on March 4, 2026. Women Who Rule is dedicated to improving lives by providing access to safe and reliable transportation to those in need throughout the Coastal Empire. In addition to honoring the 2026 Woman of the Year, the luncheon will feature a panel of incredible women leaders highlighting stories of hope and triumph. Support International Women’s Month by sponsoring this empowering event with 1,000 participants. Proceeds from Women Who Rule are designated to the WOMEN UNITED® Transportation Fund, providing gas cards, bus passes, minor car repairs, and more to help our neighbors get to work, school, medical appointments, and beyond.
