We told you there was big news on the way, and here it is! A couple who wishes to remain anonymous heard how young women at Notre Dame fundraised for She’s the First, sponsoring two girls at Village Schools International in Tanzania. This couple has pledged to match all donations up to $5,000 that come through She’s the First!! So two girls go to school every time you fundraise for one! Sponsorship for orphaned children in VSI’s program is only $110 for a year.
Just remember, this happened because Monica Townsend’s dorm sponsored a girl in Liberia, inspiring Julie Wamser to get her dorm behind Tanzania. Julie’s success inspired these donors to double your efforts to support more girls at VSI. You can be next — prove how fun fundraising can be, how powerful a contribution of a few dollars can be when added up among friends or an entire campus. Who knows where your ripple effect on girls’ education worldwide will lead!
Send the flyer below around and email tammy@shesthefirst.org to get involved.
