Cabaret on K Benefiting Women’s Empowerment

Enjoy an evening of live music and local art at Cabaret on K, sponsored by Capital Public Radio, happening Sept. 9 from 7:30-9:30 p.m. The event, which benefits homeless women and children at Women’s Empowerment, includes some of Sacramento’s renowned musicians performing cabaret and jazz favorites with a mix of classical and musical theatre pieces, all from the newly opened basement at Capitol Plaza Ballrooms, 1025 9th Street, Sacramento. Artwork from local artists will be on display and for sale, with 50 percent of the proceeds going directly to Women’s Empowerment. Guests will enjoy complimentary desserts and drinks for purchase. Tickets are $50, and guests must be age 21 and older to attend. For tickets, visit www.womens-empowerment.org. Women’s Empowerment was featured on NBC’s The TODAY Show in 2015 for offering the most comprehensive job-readiness program in the Sacramento area designed specifically for women who are homeless and their children. The award-winning organization has graduated 1,437 homeless women and their 3,500 children. Last year, 92 percent of graduates found homes and 81 percent found jobs or enrolled in school or training. The program combines self-esteem courses, job training, health classes and support services to help homeless women across diverse ages, races and cultures. Women’s Empowerment is funded through private donations from the community and receives no government funding except for in-kind rent from the County of Sacramento.
