One named event, multiple event handlers

Hello Experts, I have a large multi process project that requires handling windows named events. My question is, if I have multiple processes that need to handle the same named event, will one call to SetEvent allow all the handlers to see it? Or do I have to have one named event for each event handler?

In pseudo code:

Process A : handle named event EVENT_RESET
Process B : handle named event EVENT_RESET
...
...
Process C : Set Event(EVENT_RESET)

Will Process A and Process B both receive the event?

or do I need to do something like this:

Process A : handle named event EVENT_RESET_A
Process B : handle named event EVENT_RESET_B
...
...
Process C : Set Event(EVENT_RESET_A)
Process C : Set Event(EVENT_RESET_B)

Thanks, Brian
