Large Scale Events
Women in Business takes pride in hosting four annual events that cater to a diverse range of interests. Each event aims to bring our community together to raise funds for charity. To learn more about each event and what makes them special, read more below. Take a look at our calendar, newsletter, or Instagram for dates and join us in creating memorable moments together!
01
Pink and Denim Day
Pink and Denim Day (PDD) is one of WIB’s largest fundraising events of the fall semester, which aims to raise awareness and proceeds for the American Breast Cancer Society’s: Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Although the event typically takes place during the fall semester, this year it is being held during the spring semester. Typically, there are auctions from small businesses and fun activities such as Pie the President held in on the second floor of the NVC. This event aims to educate students about Breast Cancer by bringing in guest speakers, all while raising money to support the cause and having a great time!

Pearls of Wisdom Conference
The 2025 18th Annual Pearls of Wisdom Leadership Conference--Crowning Achievements, featured facilitated networking sessions between professional guests and undergraduate students. While Crowning Achievements takes inspiration from beauty pageants, it serves as a metaphor for success in professional and personal growth. This event is a celebration of the 'crowning moments' in our lives. Each panelist and attendee defined their own “crowning moment”, showcasing their different kinds of achievements and milestones that deserve plentiful recognition.
In tradition with previous years, our conference had a dedicated cause, the Spring 2025 conference donated to The American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision of ending cancer as we know it, for everyone. It is the largest organization working to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Attendees had the option of receiving raffle tickets for the raffle giveaways during the conference upon making a donation for a chance to win items sponsored by small businesses in NYC. All proceeds raised went to support The American Cancer Society.
Thanks to our sponsors!

Resilient, Independent, Strong, Empowered
R.I.S.E is WIB’s large-scale fundraiser which raises awareness and proceeds for an organization that empowers women. R.I.S.E stands for Resilient, Independent, Strong, and Empowered, which highlights the characteristics of all women. The event features between 10 - 15 small businesses who graciously donate their items to be auctioned off during the event. The small business owners also participated in a series of exciting minute-to-win-it style challenges. During the two-hour event in the Fall of 2021, over $1100 was donated to the organization called Women Beyond Survival.

Style Your Success Fashion Show
Style Your Success (SYS) is an award-winning annual charity fashion show hosted by Women in Business. It has won Best Social Event for two consecutive years during the annual Bernies award show hosted by the Baruch College Undergraduate Student Government. We host an audience ranging from 100 to 200 people virtually and in-person, respectfully. Guests made up of Baruch students, faculty and others are treated to 4 segments ranging from Business Professional to Day to Night outfits, providing them with a sense of what attire is appropriate for different business settings. Audiences are also treated to other elements of SYS including raffles, auctions and performances. All of the proceeds from this event are donated to the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life with the hopes of helping researchers find a cure for cancer and provide resources for those suffering from cancer. SYS was held for its 14th year in 2022.
