The Stepsister's Ball - 2024

The Stepsister's Ball - 2024 - Pollinate. Activate.

Join us for the 2024 Stepsister's Ball at el Coco on West 73rd Street, New York, NY (on the B/C or the 1 train) for an unforgettable evening! We're celebrating and fundraising for the New York Chapter of the Association for Women in Science. Get ready to dance the night away and enjoy some delicious Mexican food. Enjoy a full cash bar featuring el Coco's famous frozen margarita specials and the company of fellow WINS supporters as we boogie-down to all our favorite tunes.

Our theme this year is: Pollinate. Activate. In these times of change and uncertainty we activate our community. We come together to celebrate the agave plant and all the pollinators who sustain it. We honor the resilience of our community and we activate to fight for change and to find support in each other.

Dress to impress in your finest pollinator-inspired attire (or pollen-inspired!), whether you prefer a classic cocktail outfit, a tuxedo, or a bat costume - we can't wait to see you in it!

Tickets are $50 (but members of AWIS, our parent organization, pay only $45!) and again this year, we are also offering a special deal on mugs or pint glasses when you buy a ticket. Bat’s incredible!

Dues-paying chapter members will get a DISCOUNT CODE sent to their email! (more info below). Bat’s the spirit!

This is a celebration you won't want to miss! Mark your calendars and join us at the 2024 Stepsister's Ball! Bat’s all, folks!
