On the evening of March 1st, the Dublin Women's Philanthropic Club (DWPC) hosted its highly anticipated annual fundraising gala, Masquerade Ball, at The Country Club at Muirfield Village. The elegant affair brought together over 100 guests, adorned with intricate masquerade masks, for a night filled with purpose, celebration, and philanthropy.

The primary goal of the gala was to raise funds for DWPC’s scholarship program, which supports Dublin high school seniors and adults continuing to further their education. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, sponsors, and donors, the event successfully raised over $27,000, which will directly fund next year’s scholarships and grants.

The evening’s agenda was thoughtfully curated, blending entertainment and fundraising seamlessly. Guests enjoyed a delightful dinner while engaging in an exciting silent auction, live auction, and raffles. The highlight of the night was the recognition of this year’s honoree, Kathy Jackson, for her outstanding contributions to the community. In an inspiring moment, Kathy used her platform to shine a light on local organizations making a difference, encouraging guests to get involved and support meaningful causes beyond the gala.

Setting the perfect tone for the night, Cap City Swing provided lively entertainment, ensuring that the atmosphere remained both elegant and vibrant. The energy in the room was contagious, as attendees mingled, placed their bids, and celebrated the spirit of giving. This year’s gala proved once again that when a community comes together with generosity and purpose, the impact can be truly life-changing.

With the success of this year’s Masquerade Ball, DWPC is already planning next year’s event, which will mark the 10th anniversary of the fundraising gala—a milestone worth celebrating.

For those who want to stay engaged with DWPC, the organization hosts monthly events and is continually looking for ways to grow and support the Dublin community. To get involved, visit www.dublinwomensclub.com for upcoming opportunities.
