On Thursday, April 27, the YWCA of Syracuse and Onondaga County, Inc. will present its 25th Annual Day of Commitment to Eliminate Racism and Promote Diversity. This year’s theme is “Until Justice Just Is.”
Since its inception, the Day of Commitment has featured the Induction Ceremony of our Academy of Diversity Achievers, which has honored nearly 350 community leaders for spearheading programs that embrace and promote diversity, support opportunities for women’s growth and leadership, and advance the elimination of racism. The Day of Commitment has also been a medium for important equity training, offering dozens of professional development workshops on diversity and inclusion initiatives that have benefited hundreds of event participants.
With the backing of corporate partners that choose to invest in the YWCA’s community-oriented work, the event has evolved into a signature fundraiser that celebrates our notable work to end discrimination while equipping participants to launch similar projects themselves.
The Day of Commitment coincides with the YWCA’s annual Stand Against Racism Walk, which will also take place in April. Both events are an opportunity to engage employees in meaningful ways while making a public commitment to social justice and equity in Syracuse. Your sponsorship will be used to support these efforts, as well as to sustain vital YWCA programs and services for women and children.
