Due to current recommendations by the CDC and the State of Rhode Island, and in the interest of the health and safety of our community, the WRC’s 2nd Annual Butterfly Ball will be postponed. We know that this may come as a disappointment, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

We look forward to announcing the new date, and hope that you can still join us to support the WRC’s critical work. For additional event information, or to learn about sponsorship opportunities, click here.
