The Minute Man Race,
our Spring fundraiser,
will be held on Sunday, April 26th.

The Westport Young Woman's League (WYWL) is a dynamic group of 200 women who contribute their talents in many ways to a variety of community service, fundraising and social activities.  In the midst of it all, we manage to have a good time and meet many other great women in our town. Since its inception, the League has distributed more than three million dollars to area charities.  The League’s primary fundraisers, the Creative Arts Festival and the Minute Man Race generate the major share of the proceeds used for contributions to needy agencies throughout the region each year. Some of the many recipients include Mercy Learning Center, Domestic Violence Crisis Center, Kids in Crisis, Center for Hope, Project Return and Interfaith Housing.  Some of the local community service projects we have been involved with include the Kids on the Block puppet shows, Kids in Crisis Food Drive, cooking for the Gillespie Center and Bread & Roses, Senior Center Bingo and many, many others.  The League also has a variety of social events, including daytime and evening gourmet groups, seasonal socials and children's events for its members.
