Lehigh Valley Women Who Win invites you to She Sleighs Collective — a full-day, family-friendly Christmas celebration dedicated to uplifting women, supporting families, and surrounding our community with the warmth of the season.
This event was created to shine a light on women in every stage of their journey. Throughout the day, you’ll meet talented creators in art, fashion, food, and handcrafted goods — each bringing their heart and passion to the Lehigh Valley.
This year, we are deeply honored to recognize a woman who has given back to our community in extraordinary ways.
A moment that celebrates heart, service, and the women shaping our community.
This event will present a beautiful exhibition highlighting the work of local artists.
And get ready… because NYCHE @shopnyche is bringing the heat with a runway show featuring their winter collection — and it will SLEIGH.
The day is filled with activities that bring families together:
Free Santa photos by @_obsdnstudio
Story time with Ms. Rachel @hifriendsoflv

…plus so many more joyful surprises.
This year, our hearts are with moms and children facing tough seasons. We’re partnering with Cay Galgon Life House @caygalgonlifehouse , a local women’s shelter offering hope and support. Every donation goes directly to helping families — and enters you into a raffle supported by generous small business sponsors. Led by Rachel Villamil from @momsinmotionlehighvalley @mrsvillamil
