Erma Bombeck invited fellow authors to join her for the country’s first Authors Luncheon in 1980. Why? Erma thought it would be a unique way to raise funds for Arizona kidney patients. She was right. The Authors Luncheon was an immediate success and quickly became an annual event.
The Arizona Women’s Board is dedicated to continuing Erma’s tradition of bringing best-selling authors together to help write a brighter future for Arizona kidney patients.
The Friends of Erma Bombeck Authors Luncheon has raised more than $10 million for programs that directly benefit Arizona’s kidney patients and their families.
The Women’s Board is honored to continue Erma’s legacy each Fall at its gathering of best-selling authors who present their latest releases.
The Arizona Women’s Board proudly invites you to join us for the 35th Annual Authors Luncheon.
