The “Women Who Pay It 4ward” brunch presented by BMW is a national empowerment series that celebrates four influential women in four cities. Successfully launched in Chicago last winter, four influencers have been honored by BMW in New York, Los Angeles, Washington DC and Miami.

During each event, Pay It 4ward guests are invited to “Drive for a Cause”, which is themed the “Ultimate Test Driving Experience.” For every guest that test drives a car, BMW makes a donation to Kicked It in Heels, a 501(c)(3) foundation that provides transitional services to breast cancer survivors of color.

The series underscores BMW’s commitment to celebrating diversity in professional industries and local communities.
