The Women of Tomorrow® Mentor & Scholarship Program celebrated its 9th Annual Rosé Day® at Cecconi’s at Soho Beach House, raising funds to support at-risk high school girls in South Florida.

Chaired by Jennifer Valoppi, Marisa Toccin Lucas, and Co-Chairs Suzy Buckley Woodward, Carol Iacovelli, Dr. Krista Rosenberg, and Daniela Swaebe, the sold-out event brought together 150 philanthropists and community leaders dressed in rosé-inspired attire. Guests enjoyed cocktails
sponsored by Château d’Esclans and Whispering Angel, an elegant lunch, and auctions with prizes including Jeffrey Rackover jewelry.

The highlight was an inspiring speech by Vanessa Loaiza, a Women of Tomorrow® alumnae and Apple Machine Learning Engineer, sharing how Women of Tomorrow® transformed her life. Founder Jennifer Valoppi received the Maria Browne Pink Rose Award for her dedication to empowering young women. Since 1997, Women of Tomorrow® has mentored over 26,000 young women, achieving a 98% graduation rate, and awarding nearly $9 million in scholarships.
