Support Sisterly Love at the collective’s inaugural Women’s History Month event.

The Sisterly Love Collective - a program of Les Dames Philly - is hosting a work / shop partnership with The Deacon in recognition of Women’s History Month. In the afternoon, Sisterly Love Work / Shop will feature a half-day workshop featuring a mix of panels and demos at the intersection of food, business, and lifestyle. There will be vendors selling their women-owned and made goods throughout the day. Immediately following the last workshop, the collective will host a cocktail reception featuring a variety of dishes from top Philadelphia female chefs and restaurateurs.

Additionally, our online silent auction is now open! Bid on experiences and products donated by top male chefs. All proceeds will go to Sisterly Love.

Tickets for workshop and cocktail party are $85 for Dames ($105 to the public). The workshop and cocktail party can also be purchased separately.
