On Friday, June 6, 2025, YWCA San Diego County presented the 25th annual In the Company of Women benefit luncheon featuring the Tribute to Women & Industry Awards (TWIN). We celebrated extraordinary women making a lasting impact, honored the bravery of domestic violence survivors, and reaffirmed our collective power to build a thriving community for all.
We applauded our TWIN honorees for their outstanding achievements and followed our keynote speaker, Robyn Benincasa, on a path to overcome doubt and achieve the impossible. The courageous story of our client who shared her life-changing journey showed us the impact of hope and determination. We are grateful to those who joined us — thank you for your generosity to support survivors!
2025 TWIN Honorees
YWCA introduced the Tribute to Women & Industry Awards (TWIN) in 1980 to recognize women for their exceptional leadership and achievements in their industry, organization, and community. TWIN honorees are inducted into a longstanding, prestigious group that pays tribute to the strength, courage, and spirit of women and their powerful impact.
Congratulations to this extraordinary group of dedicated leaders for their steadfast perseverance that inspires, empowers, and advances our community!
