From 6:30pm to 9pm
It's time for our first annual PEARR Summer Bash! PEARR has now been supporting Women In Distress in our community for one year. Please join us as we thank you for your support and celebrate our first anniversary with a fun evening of live music, raffles, food and libations at the Pompano Citi Centre, located at 1901 N. Federal Hwy in Pompano Beach (directions/map). We will be on the first floor stage on the east side (just find the Panera Bread store and follow the music by RetroActive and Steve Minotti!)
Our organization currently has over 75 members supporting WID, so this event will be a perfect time to renew your membership, network with other professionals, hear our plans for the upcoming year and suggest new ideas. To RSVP you can register here. We look forward to celebrating with you!
P.S. Since June is Cell Phone Donation Drive month, please bring any unwanted cell phones to this event. These phones are lifelines for those in abusive situations by allowing those in need to dial 911 and get help. Its a wonderful way to recycle too!
