Founded in 1996, Work Options for Women is a unique nonprofit social enterprise that uses food to change lives.

Our Mission is to help impoverished women gain the skills and confidence they need to work their way out of poverty and become gainfully and permanently employed in the food service industry.

We believe that self-sufficient women form the cornerstone of a healthy, vibrant community. Given opportunities, skills and confidence, women not only improve their own lives, but the lives of their families - and then, family by family, they strengthen the fabric of a community.

Please join us August 7th at 9:30am for the 2nd Annual Ready Talk Race for Charities!
The Ready Talk Race for Charities exemplifies Ready Talk's commitment to developing innovative ways for people to engage in the community while supporting health and enjoyment of life.

All proceeds from this year's race will benefit Work Options for Women and The Young Philanthropists Foundation.
There will be cash awards, Live Entertainment, Complimentary Food and

Beverages, Free Raffle Prizes, and Children's Activities
To register for the event, please visit www.ReadyTalk.com/Race.

In addition there are many volunteer opportunities for race day. We need everyone from an energetic race announcer to animated course marshals.

If you would like to volunteer for the race, please contact Heather Ellerbrock at 720-944-1916 or by e-mail at heather@workoptions.org.

For more information about the race, please contact Dan Mondragon at 720-944-1920 or by e-mail at dan@workoptions.org.

We hope to see you race day!
