The Women's Resource Center brought some holiday cheer to the Grove restaurant in Lakewood Ranch during its latest Wonder Women Collective fundraiser on Dec. 1.

The "Winter Wonder Women Collective" event saw the WRC's clients, donors and partners mingling together for a year-end celebration of the organization's work providing resources for women seeking guidance and support. 

The evening started with light bites and drinks before guests sat to hear from TEDX speaker Robyn Faucy. Guests finished out the night enjoying music and bidding on silent auction items.
