For over 12 years, we have partnered with Girls, Inc. of Columbus. Girls, Inc. exists to equip girls to reach their full potential while advocating with and for them to end inequality and discrimination. They are the longest-running girls’ leadership program, evolving with girls to meet the challenges and opportunities of the day. We are honored to be a small part of their school year planning monthly events focused on teaching the girls things like letter writing, gift wrapping, etiquette, table settings, and other fun activities keeping them excited and engaged.
Every day at the Wynn House is a memorable moment. However, there are a few recent events that have captured our hearts and is forever etched in our minds. The weekend before a sweet couple was planning to celebrate their wedding, their event venue tragically caught fire. Our staff jumped on their feet and said, “We will take care of you.” Just 5 days before the wedding, we worked nonstop to recreate the vision this couple had in one space and make their wedding dreams come true in ours. The wedding was a jaw dropping success and the happy couple was overjoyed alongside their family and friends.
One of our biggest fundraising events every May is our annual Heritage Ball, the presentation of the Columbus Cotillion Club Debutantes. An estimated 600 guests arrive annually, making this one of the most well-known and highly attended events in the community. With the help of the Wynn House Heritage Ball Committee, the staff sets the stage for an elegant evening. Donations to this fundraiser for the Wynn House help to maintain and restore our beloved historical structure for many years to come.
