The event will feature a speaker series, food and wine pairing, and a live auction.

"What a wonderful way to bring the community together to give back," says Griffin in the release.

The event is in alignment with the local Women United program, which is to advocate for change for women, girls, and their families, and "create a brighter future for women, girls, and their families," says Griffin.
