About the Event

Get ready for an unforgettable evening as Working Class Wednesday proudly marks its 9-Year Anniversary in collaboration with the Real Women Radio Foundation (RWRF). We invite you to “Stepping Into Success: The Ultimate Networking Experience” on the Gulf Coast—a vibrant celebration that showcases the power of collaboration, community spirit, and giving back.

 

For nearly a decade, Working Class Wednesday, founded by the visionary Terrance L. Barber, has been a beacon for entrepreneurs, professionals, and community leaders across Florida and beyond. This milestone anniversary event highlights the extraordinary impact of partnership, as we unite to uplift local youth during the holiday season.

 

Purpose & Impact 

This year’s celebration transcends traditional networking; it embodies empowerment with purpose. In partnership with the Real Women Radio Foundation— a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on driving civic engagement and workforce development—we aim to raise funds to provide $100 gift cards to local high school students (ages 12–18). 

 

These gift cards will empower students to purchase new shoes and essential items, instilling the confidence they need to “step into success” both in their appearance and their aspirations. Every donation is 100% tax-deductible, ensuring that every dollar directly benefits our youth and supports our impactful programs.

 

What to Expect

– Exciting Free Shoe (Gift Card) Giveaways for youth and families 

– Energetic Live Music by DJ L Smooth and DJ Hale 

– Valuable Networking Opportunities with dynamic entrepreneurs, business leaders, and changemakers 

– Delicious Food, Refreshing Drinks, and Family-Friendly Fun 

– Inspirational Speakers and Sponsors championing community growth and collaboration

This landmark event will unite communities from Pensacola to Tallahassee, seamlessly connecting the business, nonprofit, and education sectors. Join us in celebrating the enduring spirit of success and service!
