Unwind & Rebuild: Mental Wellness for Women in Construction SPONSORSHIP

Description

Help us create space for the conversations that matter. On September 10, 2026, at Kin Vineyards, women from across the construction industry will come together for Unwind & Rebuild: Mental Wellness for Women in Construction — an evening dedicated to mental health, resilience, and the power of community.

Featuring guest speaker Christine Harrison, this unique event will explore the realities of mental health, burnout, and resilience in construction, creating an open and meaningful conversation around the challenges we face and how we can better support one another.

By sponsoring this event, your organization will help champion mental wellness, support women in construction, and contribute to building a stronger, healthier, and more connected industry culture. Together, we can create a space where women in construction feel valued, supported, and empowered to continue leading the future of our industry.

All guests are encouraged to embrace a garden party chic style. As portions of the evening will take place throughout the vineyard, comfortable footwear is recommended to fully enjoy the experience.
