Wine Women & Shoes raises more than $600,000 to support victims of domestic violence

On April 13, YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee hosted its 12th annual Wine Women & Shoes, presented by Regions, at the Music City Center. This event brings Nashville’s most extraordinary women together to support individuals and their families who are experiencing domestic violence. It was named the Best Women’s Event by Nfocus magazine in its Best Parties 2023 issue. Over the past decade, Wine Women & Shoes has raised more than $3 million for YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee to provide safety and shelter to thousands of people who turn to the Weaver Domestic Violence Center in their greatest time of need.
