You are invited to join the Junior League of Wilmington on Monday, May 11, 2026, at 6:00 PM at Ursuline Academy, as we gather to celebrate the incredible impact of Stand Up. Period.  And commemorate the transition of this important work to the Delaware Dignity Project, whose mission will ensure these efforts continue to thrive across Delaware!

Over the years, Stand Up. Period. has provided essential menstrual hygiene supplies to members of our community through our period supplies bank, and countless collection and distribution efforts. The Delaware Dignity Project is a community-driven initiative dedicated to empowering women by providing menstrual hygiene products and other often overlooked necessities crucial for comfort, confidence, and well-being.

This event is an opportunity to honor the dedication, generosity, and service that made this initiative such a meaningful success, while proudly introducing the Delaware Dignity Project and the continued future of this vital work.

Join us for an evening of reflection, gratitude, and celebration as we recognize the Junior League of Wilmington’s collective accomplishments. Celebrate the legacy of Stand Up. Period. and help us send this initiative forward as its impact continues to live on through the Delaware Dignity Project.
