WILD Women on the Treasure Coast raise $70k

The Inner Truth Project’s (ITP) sold-out W.I.L.D. (Women Involved in Learning & Discovery) Outdoors fundraiser was wildly successful, raising over $70,000 to benefit support and counseling for survivors of sexual violence. This all-day experience brought women from all corners of the community together to learn new outdoor skills and hobbies, meet new friends, and enjoy the natural and breathtaking grounds of an 800-acre working cattle ranch.This all-day experience brought women from all corners of the community together to learn new outdoor skills and hobbies, meet new friends, and enjoy the natural and breathtaking grounds of an 800-acre working cattle ranch.

The January 20th event was sponsored by The Inner Truth Project, a local nonprofit organization offering outreach and services to survivors of sexual violence. The day-long activities included archery, hiking, beekeeping, clay shooting, woodworking, camping basics, line dancing, jam-making, self-defense, and more. Over 300 Participants gathered at the beautiful Mancil Ranch in Martin County for breakfast, selected classes during morning and afternoon sessions, and bonded over a delicious lunch provided by Mission BBQ.

“This unique event is a way for women to connect to the outdoors and find strength through acquiring new skills,” said Inner Truth founder and director Mindi Fetterman, “but it’s also learning to explore and have fun. Women can easily enjoy basic skills like starting a campfire and learning about the wildlife surrounding us. There’s no better way to learn these things than with a group of women intent on supporting each other.”

The signature event raised over $70,000, with the profits going toward programs that provide support and counseling to survivors of sexual violence throughout the Treasure Coast community. Alissa Haddad Scott, the Chair of the event for the second year, said, “I was excited to take classes that I missed last year at W.I.L.D. Outdoors and even more delighted that we had this chance to help more of our community know about the important services of The Inner Truth Project.”
