- **Event Name**: International Women's Day Night Out
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 am
- **Event Description**: To mark International Women’s Day, the Aoraki Women’s Fund Te Ira Wāhine o Aoraki is partnering for the first time with the South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce and the Business Women’s Network (BWN) to host a special community celebration in Timaru.

International Women’s Day Night Out is an evening designed to honour, uplift, and celebrate the women who contribute to our region — in business, community leadership, volunteering, education, and family life and aligns closely with the Business Women’s Network (BWN) South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce cluster. Formed in 2021 by South Canterbury women the network seeks to better support and champion women in business. Building strong relationships is fundamental to success in life – and in business, it is no different.

The focus of the BWN is to provide events and opportunities for connection and inspiration for women at all stages of their career; to empower, to give confidence, to build capability and to network.
 
International Women’s Day Night Out is an evening designed to honour, uplift, and celebrate the women who contribute to our region — in business, community leadership, volunteering, education, and family life.
 
The event will feature guest speakers and networking, and will celebrate the Aoraki Women’s Fund Woman of the Year nominations, culminating in the announcement of the 2026 Woman of the Year. It is an opportunity to recognise women’s leadership and impact, while bringing community and business together.

The Aoraki Women’s Fund is a philanthropic fund dedicated to improving outcomes for women and girls across the Aoraki region. The Fund operates as a perpetual endowment, meaning donations and fundraising proceeds are invested to grow the fund over time. The income generated from those investments is then distributed as grants to local initiatives, creating long-term, sustainable impact rather than one-off support.

As part of its long-term sustainability strategy, the Aoraki Women’s Fund is working towards a goal of 173 individual donors. Reaching this milestone would provide a strong and stable base for the Fund, helping ensure it can continue to distribute grants every year, regardless of economic conditions. The focus is on collective giving — showing how many small contributions, when combined, can create lasting change for women and girls across the region.

This International Women’s Day event reflects that purpose.

All proceeds from the evening will go directly to the Aoraki Women’s Fund, contributing to the growth of the endowment and increasing the Fund’s ability to support local causes year after year.

This collaboration marks a new partnership between the Aoraki Women’s Fund and the South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce, highlighting a shared commitment between community and business to recognise, support, and invest in women.
