The answer

Striving to do good is commendable for both men and women, while observing the Shariah guidelines such as segregation of sexes and preventing fitnah (temptation/strife).

The charitable work must be permissible, and it is better to prioritize what is most important.

As for naming a day "Belonging Day," this is an impermissible designation, and charitable work does not require such a designation.

Celebrating celebrities: If it is on the occasion of their birthdays or deaths, it is an impermissible celebration. If it is not linked to a specific day, then the celebrities themselves should be considered; if someone had a positive impact, remembering them is good. But if someone had a negative impact, such as corrupt singers and actors, celebrating them is corrupting.

As for choosing "The Catholic Center" as a venue for the activity, it is forbidden by Shariah.
