On March 3, YWCA Central Carolinas gathered community partners and advocates for We Believe 2026—an annual luncheon rooted in purpose and impact. The event served as both a celebration of progress and a call to continued action in building a more equitable community for all.
This year’s luncheon included remarks from Susan Evans, YWCA board member, who highlighted that health begins long before someone walks through hospital doors — it starts in our homes, our neighborhoods and our communities. Her remarks emphasized the importance of investing in community partnerships, like the one between Atrium Health and YWCA Central Carolinas, to address systemic barriers and expand access to critical resources.
We are proud to recognize Atrium Health for their meaningful support as a presenting sponsor of We Believe 2026. Their partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing equity, expanding access to critical resources and addressing the systemic barriers that impact the well-being of individuals and families across our region.
Through their investment in this year’s luncheon, Atrium Health helped strengthen our ability to expand programs and meet growing needs across the communities we serve. Their support of our mission underscores the powerful connection between health, equity and justice for all.
We are deeply grateful to Atrium Health for standing alongside YWCA Central Carolinas in this work and for their continued dedication to creating healthier, more just outcomes for the communities we serve.
