Join Cindy McCain - philanthropist, businesswoman, and widow of U.S. Senator John McCain - for an afternoon of empowerment at the Women’s Foundation’s “We Work for Change” Annual Event, presented by Bank of America.

The event will bring community, business and elected leaders together around the theme of “Changemakers” – to celebrate the power of women to make positive change through civic engagement and public service. This year’s fundraiser also will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

To honor the suffragettes who marched and advocated for our right to vote, we encourage attendees to wear white to the event.

Cindy McCain, keynote speaker, is a changemaker on a national stage. She has dedicated her life to improving the lives of those less fortunate both in the United States and around the world. She is committed to ending human trafficking; and chairs the Board of Trustees at the McCain Institute for International Leadership, which promotes economic opportunity, freedom and human dignity.

Cindy is the Chair of her family’s business, Hensley Beverage Company, one of the largest Anheuser-Busch distributors in the nation.
