Ladies Who Launch embraces female entrepreneurship, which has made us one of the country?s largest lifestyle companies for women. We support the female entrepreneur in her determination to be enterprising in her career, as well as her lifestyle. Ladies Who Launch is more than excited to speak this messaging and contagious motivation to the women of New York City, Ladies Who Launch Partner, Beth Schoenfeldt, says.Attendees received gift bags that included the newest must-have for the season, which were provided by event sponsors such as: Hollywould, Bloom by American Greeting, Commerce Bank, SkinKlinic, NuKitchen, Chick Chat Radio, Restaurant.com, Finlandia Vodka, Barefoot Wine, Sunshine Sweet Cupcakes, Count-me-in, Crave Party, Culinary Insiders, M.A.R., Shefinds.com and Casa Naranja.For more information on Ladies Who Launch, their entrepreneurial tools and programs, and events in different cities, please visit their website
