CHARITY & BURSARIES

2019/2020

DRESS FOR SUCCESS KELOWNA

We understand the importance of creating impact and giving back to the community. Each year KWIB partners with a local organization as a charity affiliation: a large portion of all membership fees, event ticket sales, and special fundraising goes directly to the organization. For the 2019-2020 KWIB season, we are honoured to announce we have chosen to partner with Dress For Success Kelowna.

Etcetera Youth Kelowna

For the 2018-2019 KWIB season, we had the honor of partnering with Etcetera. At our September event we presented them with a cheque for $6500!

We welcome nominations from anyone in the community (self-nominations welcome!), and will be voted on by the KWIB board of directors based on level of merit and need. Nominations open September of each year, and recipients will be announced in June of the following year.
