“Fearlessly Female” Event Celebrates Women
October 23, 2024WATERBURY, Conn. -- Saint Mary’s Hospital and Trinity Health Of New England are thrilled to announce, “Fearlessly Female,” an event to honor, educate, and celebrate women. Inspired by “Sparkle,” an annual celebration of women’s wellness, hosted by the health care organization prior to the pandemic, “Fearlessly Female” is bringing women a day-long event, focused on women’s safety, strength, and resilience.
Elizabeth Smart will serve as the keynote speaker of the "Fearlessly Female" event.
The highlight of the event is keynote speaker Elizabeth Smart, who is an abduction survivor and Founder of the Elizabeth Smart Foundation. The abduction of Elizabeth Smart was one of the most followed child abduction cases of our time. Surviving, and now thriving as an advocate, Elizabeth shows us that it is possible not only to overcome extreme adversity and take control of your future, but also to light the way for others.
In addition to the keynote speaker, the event will include a panel discussion with safety experts and feature a wide range of health and wellness experts from Saint Mary’s Hospital and Trinity Health Of New England. Community partners include the Waterbury Police Department, Jane Doe No More, Escape Alive Survival Skills® and the Greater Waterbury YMCA. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn self-defense techniques and discover resources for keeping their families safe. The event will also offer opportunities to meet and receive health and wellness information from the area’s expert providers.
“Fearlessly Female” will be held on Sunday, November 3, from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., at the Grand Oak Villa, 550 Sylvan Lake Road, Watertown. The event includes a delicious luncheon and raffle opportunities. The cost is $50.00 to attend. To register, please visit, TrinityHealthOfNE.org/Fearless.
