Proceeds from the 2025 Ladies Only Luncheon will benefit the Sensory Experience Development Project — a transformative effort to create inclusive, interactive spaces that stimulate and support the senses in safe, meaningful ways. We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to explore, engage, and thrive in an environment that nurtures her or her unique sensory needs.
The Ladies Only Luncheon has become an Erie tradition that supports services for children at the Barber National Institute. This event is held the Saturday before Thanksgiving to help launch the holiday season with socializing, a festive lunch and the chance to take home a bountiful gift basket or other prizes. This is a special occasion where you can get dressed up and enjoy the day in style!

Whether it is a tactile garden for individuals with visual impairments, a swing designed for students who are wheelchair bound, or a multi-sensory, nature-based play zone, this project is designed to foster connection, creativity, and learning for all. But we can’t do it without your help.
Your generous contribution will directly support:
Construction of sensory-friendly spaces both indoors and outdoors
Specialized equipment such as swings, fiber optic lights, textured panels, and sound therapy tools
Creation of safe, accessible spaces while expanding inclusive activities in a welcoming and calming environment
