LUNAFEST is a fundraising film festival dedicated to championing women filmmakers and bringing women together in their communities.
This unique film festival highlights women as leaders in society, illustrated through seven short films by women filmmakers. The films range from animation to fictional drama, and cover topics such as women’s health, body image, relationships, cultural diversity and breaking barriers.
All proceeds from LUNAFEST will benefit ZONTA Club of Dallas / ZONTA International, a nonprofit organization celebrating it’s 100th year of global advocacy empowering women and girls and a nonprofit organization that supports women nonfiction filmmakers whose artful and innovative storytelling catalyzes social change. LUNAFEST, created and funded by LUNA®, The Whole Nutrition Bar, has raised over $5 Million for nonprofit organizations across the US and Canada.
AMEILA EARHART
LUNCHEON
In honor of early ZONTA member and aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, this luncheon provides a forum to inspire a new generation of girls and young women to follow Earhart’s trailblazing spirit into their own science, technology, engineering, and mathematics career paths.
We host an array of girls from middle and high schools across the Dallas area including Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Magnet Center, Irma Rangel Young Women’s Leadership School, Dallas Police Department Youth Outreach Unit, Cedar Hill ISD Collegiate High School, New Tech High Coppell ISD and Hockaday School.
Proceeds from this luncheon funded three Ruth Maddox Young Women in Stem Award Scholarships in 2020 for college women pursuing STEM majors. Any additional proceeds support other Zonta initiatives for the support of women and girls including Our Friends Place, a transitional housing program for young women ages 18-24 who have experienced poverty, homelessness or abuse.
