Cocoa Beach Woman’s Club is a proud member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. The GFWC is one of the largest and oldest women’s service organizations.
We were federated September 27, 1965 and throughout the club’s history, it has contributed not only to the Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral areas, but to all citizens of Brevard County through its support of Education, Conservation, the Arts, Civic Engagement, Health and Wellness and Community Outreach.
We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Download our latest club brochure HERE
