Happy New Year from She’s the First!

We made a She's the First Yearbook of our first year memories on Shutterfly.com!

She’s the First made a yearbook from our first year! On Shutterfly.com, we created a hardcover book, and each year, we’ll make it a tradition. We’ll keep these in our office someday, but for now, they’re in the hands of a few She’s the First leaders, and we scanned the pages for you to see below!

Thanks to all who made 2010 an incredible year for our organization and, most importantly, for the girls we support worldwide! By our count, in our first full year, we sponsored at least 36 girls and raised at least $13,430 for girls’ tuition from our marquee events and your independent, grassroots fundraisers!

(If we left anyone out, please forgive and email tammy@shesthefirst.org so we can update. To see the partners in our directory which manage the sponsored girls’ schooling, visit shesthefirst.org/directory).

Special thanks to our FRIENDS OF FIRSTS who made life-changing, world-shaking change with us this year!
