Sylvia S. Glanton is hosting the Future Rich Aunties Business Shower Gala April 14 and 15. This two-day event provides a space for women in business to network and learn from one another.

The Future Rich Aunties Business Shower Gala will feature business experts speaking on topics such as business finances, short term rentals, government contracting and how to organize your business strategically for long term success.

Featured speakers include Charlene Richardson, Taylor Bradley and Terrilski Davis.

Glanton is a serial entrepreneur who owns a credit recovery company and has coached hundreds of business owners on how to properly structure their business and taught them the importance of having the right systems in place.

“My goal is just to educate and empower my community, especially those in Fayetteville…I want to get women in the room who have the capabilities to become wealthy or rich, and teach them the skills that are going to help them get there,” shared Glanton.

The 14th is strictly for VIP ticket holders. The purchase of a VIP ticket gives you access to both days of events. The gala is on the 15th and guests are expected to observe the all white dress code.

There will be 10-15 vendors set up at the gala for guests to shop amongst. Glanton said she is still looking to have a few more vendors sign up for the event. They currently have vendors lined up that provide products and services ranging from beauty, health and wellness, food, and real estate.

The deadline for both vendor applications and ticket purchases is March 27.
