We’re gearing up for International Women’s Month and we are making history with our “International Women's Legacy Parade, Winston-Salem's first ever women's parade. Come Make History with Us!
Women have made an impact on our local community for decades. These contributions have been seen throughout the medical field, education, community services, business, ministry, media, and many more. Women have long played a vital role in the history of Winston-Salem. For some years, the Legacy Foundation for Women a grassroots 501c3 philanthropic organization has served as an organization that is dedicated to telling the stories and recognizing pioneering and trailblazing women that are leaving a legacy in the community.
Although the foundation’s mission is to celebrate women and girls of color, during the month of March our initiative expands beyond women of color. Each March, our foundation hosts its International Women’s Campaign in celebration of all women for International Women’s Month.
During the month of March, the foundation invites women of all races to stand together in celebration. Our month-long celebration challenges women to show acts of kindness to other women throughout the month with its kickoff salute on Tuesday March 8th International Women’s Day. On that day we are encouraging all women to pause for a moment of silence at 9:00am in salute of women throughout history that have made an impact on others. The following Saturday March 11th is "International Women's Legacy Parade, Winston-Salem's 1st Women Parade. The purpose of the parade is to promote the economic development of local businesses in our city and encourage others to buy, sell, and support women owned businesses and organizations in our community. All are invited to participate. Each year the organization selects a Grand Marshal for the event and our 2023 Grand Marshal is Mayor Pro Temp Denise Adams. This event is supported by local businesses, school bands, and organizations.
The Legacy Foundation for Women wants to empower and pray for women to be the best version of themselves. We look forward to seeing you at
The International Women's Legacy Parade. Standing together for empowerment.
