This room matters.

Not because it’s fancy. Not because it’s black tie. Not because there are awards.

It matters because social workers rarely get to sit in a room where they are centered; where the work isn’t minimized, where impact is named out loud, where heart work is honored in front of community.

The 6th Annual SWAG Awards is about more than celebration. It’s about sustainability. It’s about legacy. It’s about reminding people in this profession that they are seen.

Ticket sales close this Saturday. There are 10 tickets remaining.

If you’ve been thinking about coming, this is your nudge.

Tables are filling fast, and we’re genuinely grateful for the response to this year’s SWAG Awards.

This room will be filled with people who believe in honoring social workers, celebrating heart work, and showing up for one another.

If you’ve been on the fence, we’d love to have you with us.

See you on March 7

We’re excited to welcome Community Care Behavioral Health Organization as a first-time sponsor of the 6th Annual SWAG Awards 🩶

CCBH joined us as a Friends of SWAG sponsor, and we’re grateful for their support and presence in the room.

Their mission to support access to quality behavioral health services and strengthening the systems that care for individuals, families, and communities aligns deeply with what SWAG is all about: uplifting the social workers and helping professionals doing the heart work every day.

Thank you, CCBH, for standing with us and investing in the people behind the work. We’re glad you’re part of the SWAG community.

When an awardee says they’ve never felt so appreciated in their career, we take that seriously.

This is the heart of SWAG.

We want to take a moment to thank two organizations who have recently stepped into support as Heartwork Legacy Sponsors for the SWAG Awards.

Sojourner House
Gwen's Girls

Your decision to support this event is about more than sponsorship.
It’s about honoring the social workers and helpers whose work strengthens families, protects communities, and changes lives—often without applause.

This is what alignment looks like.
This is what legacy support looks like.
Thank you for standing with us and with the heart of this work. 🤍

We’re looking forward to honoring this work together on March 7th.

A gentle Friday reminder as we head into the weekend:

The 6th Annual SWAG Awards are right around the corner, and tickets are available through February 21.

This night is about pausing long enough to honor the heart work. The work that rarely gets applause. The people who keep showing up anyway.

If you’ve been planning to join us, this is your nudge to secure your seat and be in the room.
