About 412 Gives Back
Our Story
Meet Billie and Amy, the two moms who have joined forces to create unforgettable events with a mission to give back.
In 2018, we met in a playgroup and discovered our shared passion for philanthropy and event planning. With Billie's exceptional talent for party planning and Amy's extensive involvement in several nonprofits, we decided to collaborate to create our own events that would be a true reflection of our passion.
Thus, 412 Gives Back, a Steel City Soirée, was born. We are dedicated to creating fun and meaningful events that make a positive impact on our community.

Higgins
Co-Founder
"Prior to working as a paralegal in Connecticut, I worked for a catering company that predominantly focused on concert venues, weddings and other private events. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for event planning. Since collaborating with Amy and discovering where our shared interests align, we have developed a way to bring people together by coordinating events while giving back to our community. For two women who love to plan, 412 Gives Back was the most fortuitous plan we never made."

My goal is to foster connections among people on a social level, while providing them with the opportunity to give back to deserving causes."
