The Night

Empower ME

Empower ME wants to do just that! We want to help you find your space and provide the tools to inspire others to do the same. Learn how to make giving back, doable and ultimately successful.

With the help of our community we raised $10,000 to help build a classroom in Kenya. As Empower ME is in support of WE Charity, we understand the importance of having access to an education, opportunity, and a space for growth. 

Thank you to our proud sponsors at Wildeboer Dellelce and Ermanno Clothing for standing with us! Together we can make a difference!
