A WORD ABOUT THE FÊTE

Each year, Vested’s Fête en Rouge invites us to pause, gather, and remember what’s possible when women show up for one another. This event was built on the belief that our businesses are more than bottom lines - they are vessels for impact, connection, and meaningful change in our community.

At the Fête you are part of something powerful. Whether it’s your first time here or you’ve been with us since the beginning, thank you for investing your energy, presence, and heart. May this evening spark new relationships, lightbulb moments, and a deeper sense of what it means to be vested in one another’s success.

As you scroll through this guide, I hope you feel inspired by the many ways to give - every auction bid, donation, and moment of connection supports YWCA Spokane, an organization that works tirelessly to provide safety, dignity, and resources for women and families facing domestic violence, housing insecurity, and systemic injustice.

Creating safer communities for women and families in the Inland NW.

Vested is honored to work with YWCA Spokane as our official nonprofit partner for the 2025 Fête en Rouge. This powerful partnership reflects a shared commitment to uplifting women in our community, especially those facing the devastating realities of domestic violence. For more than 120 years, YWCA Spokane has served as a safe haven and resource center for thousands of women, children, families, and people of all genders experiencing domestic violence across the Inland Northwest. Through their mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all, they provide critical services that meet people where they are and help them move forward.

Each year, YWCA Spokane supports more than 15,000 women, children, and men through programs that include emergency shelter, legal advocacy, counseling, early childhood education, and job readiness training. Their work is vital, particularly in our where 1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.

With this statistic in mind, the importance of YWCA Spokane’s services becomes even more urgent. Their 24/7 domestic violence helpline, confidential support, safe shelter (including for pets), and wraparound services offer more than survival, they offer a pathway to healing and self-sufficiency.

Now here’s how you can help: YWCA Spokane is facing a devastating $500,000 loss in federal funding, directly threatening the programs and staff who serve survivors every day. Now, more than ever, they need our community’s support.

By partnering with YWCA Spokane for this year’s Fête en Rouge, Vested aims to raise both awareness and critical funds to help bridge that gap, because no one should be turned away when they need safety, support, or hope.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please reach out:

  • 24/7 Help Line: 509-326-2255

  • Text Line: 509-220-3725

  • More Resources: ywcaspokane.org

Together, we can shine a light in a dark place and stand with the women and families who need us most. As you step into the fun of the Fête, hold close the purpose behind the evening, a quiet but powerful call to uplift women in our community through connection, generosity, and shared impact.
