All net income from public fundraising projects, raffles or events  held by the Zonta Club of Brainerd is donated to local organizations, or to organizations sponsored by Zonta International.

Spring Style Show

The largest fundraising effort for the past several years has been the annual Spring Style Show.  This is a major effort requiring several months of planning and preparation each year.

Attendance has averaged up to 200 women and benefits local programs and international causes.

The 2002 Style Show was held on April 11th at Grandview Lodge.  This year's theme was "A Fashion Safari" and raised over $3,000 to benefit many of the organizations and programs listed below.

Evening Speaker Event:  Occasionally, the Club is able to host an evening presentation featuring an interesting speaker who has a background or a topic of interest to women.  A light dinner or desert is typically served.
