Hundreds of honorees in the past have included elected officials, journalists, farmworkers, foster parents, artists, singers, musicians, teachers, poets, nurses, social workers, administrators, organizers, business owners and hundreds, if not thousands, more in the 25 states and 5 other countries where Women of Color/Diversity Day events have been held. This unique and important, independent event, which is not a non-profit, has been made possible through the efforts of community people selling program booklet ads, small businesses purchasing vendor/exhibitor tables, bigger businesses and organizations making donations, and attendees purchasing tickets @$10 for adults and $5 for children under 12, seniors, disabled vets, disabled members of the community, and others.
