In only nine years, this annual fund-raiser has grown to become one of Huntsville's most anticipated community events.

Tickets are $65 each, with money going toward educational scholarships and assistance for Madison County women. To date, the WEDC foundation has awarded more than $170,000 in scholarship funds to women in our community.
