CWO puts on a production of The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler ever year around Valentine's Day as part of the V-Day Movement, and all proceeds go to charity.

V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works. In 2011, over 5,800 V-Day benefit events took place produced by volunteer activists in the U.S. and around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls. To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $85 million and educated millions about the issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it, crafted international educational, media and PSA campaigns, launched the Karama program in the Middle East, reopened shelters, and funded over 13,000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses in Democratic Republic Of Congo, Haiti, Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt, and Iraq. In 2001, V-Day was named one of Worth Magazine's "100 Best Charities," in 2006 one of Marie Claire Magazine's Top Ten Charities, and in 2010 was named as one of the Top-Rated organizations on GreatNonprofits. In thirteen years, the V-Day movement has reached over 300 million people.

90% of all funds raised will go to the Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania, and 10% will benefit the V-Day Spotlight this year, women and girls in Haiti, who are still recovering from the earthquake that wrecked their country more than a year ago. Having received none of the money promised by the US or other nations, Haiti is facing extremes of physical and sexual violence due to the disorder of unsecured refugee camps.
