  • Florida Hotel and Conference Center (map)

"The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practice regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise." (The Holy Qur'an 9:71)

Join the Muslim Women's Organization at our 3rd Annual GEMS Gala: Together We Rise, a fundraising dinner and awards ceremony celebrating the dynamic duos of our community who work together everyday to uplift one another and everyone around them, like our special guests, power couple, Priya Chandra and Imam Khalid Latif

We will also shine a light on the work of MWO and those who collaborate with us to improve the lives of the women of Central Florida.  It will be an unforgettable evening and one you don't want to miss!
