SUMMARY:2026 Women United Education Awards Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:United Way of Ventura County's Women United Education Awards Luncheon will once again be honoring single mothers who are pursuing their education. In 2024-25\, Women United presented 11 education awards to local single mothers pursuing their education and has given out 91 awards since 2018.\n\nSixty-four percent of single mothers in Ventura County do not earn sufficient income to meet their basic needs and a critical component is Education.\n\nThe Women United Luncheon will take place on Thursday\, June 4\, 2026\, at California Lutheran University and will recognize Ventura County single mothers who are pursuing their education and supporting their families in the process. Recipients of the Women United Education Award are single mothers who are completing their associate degree and transferring to a four-year university or technical program and have children under the age of eighteen living in the home. This financial award may be used to offset any costs associated with efforts to attain higher education\, including tuition\, books\, childcare\, and transportation. \n\n \n\nOur keynote speaker this year is Graciela Casillas. "We are so excited to have Graciela speak about her inspiring journey as a World Champion Boxer\, an educator\, and a mother" said President & CEO of United Way of Ventura County\, Mitchel Sloan. \n\n\n\nDuring the event\, Women United hosts a unique "Power of the Purse" providing participants with an opportunity to win one or more luxury designer purses. Don't miss it!\n\n \n\nFor more information on sponsorship opportunities contact Dawn Pettersen at   \n\ndawn.pettersen@vcunitedway.org
