Why It Matters

Every raffle ticket helps support Xcelerate Women’s programs and community, connecting women entrepreneurs with business advising, peer mentorship, resources, and opportunities to grow.

So while you could walk away with a pretty incredible trip, or a relaxing Cascada getaway, you’re also helping create more opportunities for women business owners in our community.

Pack your bags. Soak it up. Support women entrepreneurs. And maybe get a little lucky while you’re at it.
