Two years ago today, we pulled the trigger on shesthefirst.org and published this PSA video with JoJo, asking our peers to pull together with their networks to sponsor a girl’s education. Small contributions could add up to a BIG, life transforming impact. 140+ girls later, 4,000 Twitter and Facebook friends, look how far we’ve come! I’m personally so excited to celebrate offline with our friends in NYC tomorrow at Molly’s Cupcakes, but for now, the pulse of the party is beating on Twitter!
2012 was a big year — we sponsored 111 girls across eight countries, our campus chapter network grew (17 and counting!), we had educational events, innovative online campaigns (with poetry & cupcakes!), and a rockin’ concert too! 2012 is an even BIGGER year — and we know that we can only achieve our goals (of sponsoring 314 girls, double this year) with your help. But you know what they say…third time’s a charm!
Look for a Storify every day during the Tie-Dye Cupcake Bake-Off, which fittingly started today and continues through November 8th — sponsoring girls’ education, one tie-dye cupcake at a time!
