About the event

Spring Soiree is The Women’s Center of Southeastern Michigan’s annual fundraising event. This year we are celebrating 24 years of community service providing affordable mental health counseling, education, and support for individuals experiencing trauma and other life challenges.

Your impact

Women’s Center clients access high-quality therapy and support services regardless of their ability to pay. When you buy a Soiree ticket, table, or become a Soiree Partner, you have a significant impact on helping our clients receive the support they need to improve their economic and emotional well-being. Those effects spread to their families and children, their coworkers and friends, and to our community as a whole.

The evening will be a celebration and recognition for all we have accomplished together!

Imagine ... a beautiful May evening ... the sun is setting, as you are exploring the gorgeous grounds of an early nineteenth century farmstead. You are surrounded by kind, compassionate people gathered to celebrate our work together as you enjoy a strolling supper, beer and wine.

Imagine ... feeling inspired as you hear stories about the impact you’ve made, the transformations you’ve helped facilitate, and the ways you’ve empowered others through your support of The Women’s Center work in our community and beyond.

Imagine ... yourself at the Spring Soirée.
