Join Us!

Cocktails & Connections are our quarterly gatherings where we come together to raise funds for Jo Daviess county nonprofits.

Each member brings their quarterly donation & nominates a local nonprofit organization that provides human service programs & services to Jo Daviess county.

All nominations are put into a bowl & 3 are pulled at random to deliver a short presentation of what their organization does.

After the presentations, Women United members vote to determine who will be awarded that quarter's funds.

Cocktails & Connections on March 7, 2023
