Leading Ladies Spectacular is an organization born from the desire to help the spouses of professional athletes to use their influence and resources to better their communities.

“I was in a position to work with athletes and I saw the women in the lives of athletes wanting to do more,” says Sharon Turner, CEO & Founder of Leading Ladies Spectacular. “So, I thought to myself…What if we created an event that would focus on their needs, while informing and inspiring them to ‘Be the Difference’”.

The Metropolitan Center for Women and Children’s mission is to break the cycle of domestic violence and aid survivors of sexual assault through advocacy, intervention, empowerment and transformation. In 1986, Metropolitan Battered Women’s Program was founded as a private 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Jefferson Parish to offer services for victims of violence. In 2006, Metropolitan Battered Women’s Program was renamed Metropolitan Center for Women and Children, in order to identify more closely with the nature of the organization’s mission.
