STRUT WITH US
Events That Inspire, Empower, & Connect Women
Our Inaugural Event: Strut & Sip Paint Social
Date: September 22, 2025 | Location: Bloomington, Indiana
Our very first Strut & Sip: Paint Social was an unforgettable evening of laughter, creativity, and community. Hosted on National Ladies Night Out, this inaugural event marked a bold beginning for Strut to Success, Inc. — a movement dedicated to empowering women through mentorship, leadership development, and connection.
Guests sipped, strut, and painted with purpose while supporting our mission to help women and girls step boldly into their future. The room was filled with energy, encouragement, and sisterhood — the perfect reflection of what “Strut to Success” is all about.
The Movement in Motion
At Strut to Success, Inc., every event is more than a gathering — it’s a moment to grow, connect, and celebrate womanhood. From paint socials to wellness workshops, our Strut Socials bring women and girls together to build community, boost confidence, and take intentional steps toward success.
