For more than 85 years, the Palm Springs Woman's Club (PSWC) has offered women the opportunity to enjoy social activities and intellectual improvement and at the same time return to their community. The organization embraces women of all ages. Members come together for tea, lunches and fundraising events.
Founded in 1938, the club was a beacon of community involvement, education and empowerment. With a rich service history, the club continues to promote a spirit of companionship and charity in the heart of Palm Springs.
Members have contributed to the community in various ways, from donating playground equipment at local schools to offering medical impressions. However, the primary philanthropic focus of the organization is to offer trade fairs for students who graduate from Palm Spring High School.
