A Night to Remember 2025


On April 26, 2025 Soroptimist International of Folsom El Dorado Hills hosted its signature fundraiser gala, “A Night to Remember,” and what a night it was! Held at the Folsom Community Center, the event drew over 200 attendees, creating a festive and fun atmosphere which was also deeply meaningful.  

Guests were treated to an array of food and wine tastings from 20 esteemed vendors, complemented by music, dancing, and an exciting lineup of raffle prizes, as well as both silent and live auctions. 

With the success of this year’s gala, we are excited to continue our commitment of empowering and uplifting more women and girls in the years to come.

2024 A Night to Remember Gala


“A Night to Remember” Success!

The Soroptimist Intl. Folsom-El Dorado Hills Club hosted a gala with 200 guests at Folsom Community Center, March 2, 2024. The Oscar themed event featured wine, food tastings, music, and a live and silent auction. 

Wine tastings were poured exclusively by “Start on Steiner” Assoc. wineries. The wineries were the first business community to support the fundraiser.

Thanks to our many donors, we more than surpassed our net goal of earnings for our programs supporting women and girls. This will allow us to give more financial support for the awardees of the “Live Your Dream” program and expand our outreach in the local community.

The evening was lively and fun with photo ops and festivities. Thank you to all who participated and MANY thanks to all of the following businesses, who made this event successful!
