Veronica Beard Gives Back: Two Evenings of Style & Support for Female Strong!

October 27, 2025

This October, our community came together not once-but twice—to sip, shop, and style for a cause!

In October, Female Strong once again partnered with Veronica Beard for two evenings dedicated to fashion, connection, and community impact. Each event brought together remarkable women who share a commitment to empowering the next generation of female leaders.


On October 2, hosts Liz Hayes, Adrianna Stasiuk, and Kathryn Homburger Mickelson welcomed guests to an evening that combined fall fashion with purpose. The following week, on October 9, Rachel Axelrod, Christy Clark, Margaret McWeeney, Courtney Sherrer, and Jill Silverstein hosted a second event that continued the celebration of women supporting women.

Attendees enjoyed personalized styling experiences and meaningful conversations that highlighted the importance of mentorship and empowerment. Veronica Beard expanded their generosity by including phone orders in the event proceeds, allowing supporters to participate and give back from anywhere. Together, both events raised funds for Female Strong, directly supporting programs that help girls ages 8 to 18 build confidence, leadership skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset.


These gatherings demonstrated how fashion and philanthropy can work together to create lasting impact. The continued partnership between Veronica Beard, our hosts, and the Female Strong community reflects a shared belief in the power of women to lift one another and inspire the next generation of leaders.


If you’re inspired by the cause and want to get involved, there are several avenues to make a meaningful impact:


Sponsor a Female Strong Camp:


Consider hosting one-day camps for girls in 2026. With a contribution of $5,000, you can positively influence the lives of 30 girls aged 8 to 12 in your local community. This presents a wonderful opportunity to engage the daughters of your employees, clients, and budding community leaders.


Host a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser:


Your company can champion a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign during the holiday season to support Female Strong’s national expansion.


Donate Directly:


Every contribution, no matter how big or small, makes a significant impact. Direct donations go towards scholarships and further program expansion, ensuring that more girls have access to life-changing opportunities.
