In Partnership with the Tower Club Women's Committee:
Join us for an evening to remember - To celebrate the over 2.2 million women who have served and sacrificed for this great nation!
The Women's Committee of the Tower Club is pleased to sponsor its second annual Fundraising Celebration. This year, we are celebrating and supporting Final Salute Inc, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing safe and suitable housing to homeless Women Veterans and their children. The evening will feature notable speakers, food and drink and a fabulous Silent Auction. Notable guests include keynote speaker Command Sergeants Major (ret) Michele S. Jones, Ms. Veteran America 2018 - SFC Desiree Pabon, and Army Veteran Jas Boothe, Founder and President of Final Salute Inc.
Women Veterans are currently the fastest growing homeless population in America and over half are single mothers. Final Salute Inc is the only non-profit organization in the DC Metro Area that uniquely houses homeless Women Veterans and their children. Since inception, they have provided almost 13,000 days of transitional housing and supported over 5,000 Women Veterans and children in over 30 States and Territories.
Early bird pricing for individual tickets are available through May 9th, after that time - ticket prices will increase by $10.

Command Sergeants Major (ret) Michele S. Jones, President and CEO of The Bones Theory Group, LLC, leads a dedicated team that provides unique leadership training, professional and personal development, thought provoking diversity and inclusion training, youth development workshops and family leadership training.
In her military career, she was the 9th Command Sergeant Major (CSM) of the Army Reserve from October 2002 through August 2006. She retired on March 1, 2007 after 25 years of service in both the active and reserve component. She distinguished herself as being the first woman selected as class president at the United States Sergeants Major Academy (Class 48), the first woman to serve as a division Command Sergeant Major, and culminating as the first woman to serve as the CSM of any of the Army’s Components, Active or Reserve. Prior to her retirement, she held the highest Noncommissioned Officer position of any woman in the Army.
If you are not able to join us but would still like to help homeless Women Veterans and their Children, we encourage you donate via EventBrite. A small amount can go a long way - as an example, $25 buys a day of housing for homeless Woman Veteran and her children, $175 buys a week of housing, $350 buys two weeks of housing, and $750 buys one month of housing.
This event is made possible thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, including:
