We’re gearing up for International Women’s Month and we are making history with “Women in the City” The Official Ribbon Cutting for the Women's Legacy Parade, an outdoor event of women standing together for empowerment and prayer for all women in our great city. We will unveil the city'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 12th is "Women in the City: The Official Ribbon Cutting for the Women's Legacy Parade, an outdoor event of women standing together for empowerment and prayer at the Milton Rhodes Center of the Arts at 12:00noon. The event is in partnership with the city of Winston-Salem, WS Police Department, and W-S Sherriff's Office. This is an outdoor event in celebration of all women. NO Flags, Signs, Posters, or Banners permitted at the event or in the park. The Legacy Foundation will follow all COVID-19 Protocols in occurrence with the CDC Guidelines.
