#GiveToWomenAndGirls

Give To Women And Girls Day is October 11, 2024

We kindly invite you to join us in empowering women and girls for Women and Girls Day, as we continue our critical work providing free services to girls from low-income families and those still recovering from the devastating Maui fires. Our programs offer these young women hope, guidance, and the tools they need to rebuild their lives and dream of a brighter future.

Many of the girls we serve face overwhelming challenges—financial instability, trauma from the fires, and limited access to opportunities. Without these programs, they could be left without a vital lifeline. Your contributions help us provide mentorship, life skills, mental health support, and a safe space for them to heal and grow.

Donation Levels:

Opal Level - $50: Helps cover the cost of materials for one girl attending a workshop.
Jade Level - $150: Provides general program support, ensuring girls from low-income families can access these vital services.
Amethyst Level - $500: Supplies one girl with the tools and materials she needs to thrive in our program.
Diamond Level - $1,000: Covers the cost of an entire life-skills workshop for 10 girls, giving them essential tools for navigating life’s challenges.
Pearl Level - $2,500: Funds a six-week mentorship experience for a group of young women who are still struggling to find stability after the Maui fires.
Sapphire Level - $5,000: Sponsors a full program cycle for girls aged 13-19, empowering them to break free from generational poverty and forge a path of their own.

Online Auction: We’re also hosting a local-only online auction where you can bid on BATH & BODY WORKS items, with all proceeds going directly to fund our programs. If you are on Maui, you can pick up your items at 483 South High St. on October 11th, from 6 to 8 PM. Please note we will not be mailing items, but if you're off-island, we invite you to make a donation at one of the levels above to help us continue providing these services to those who need them most.
