WOW! DAY OF ACTION 2008

Stop “saving” the world. Start changing it.

 

Did you miss March 8 - International Women's Day? You can still get involved throughout March and April. Join hands with women around the world as we celebrate this day and come together to make a difference.

Reach out to your friends, share some time and make a commitment to help another woman who needs you. We have one goal for this day of action: to take a concrete step in ending the poverty and isolation women face around the world.

Difficult? Immensely. Impossible? Hardly. But we need your help. Can you take just one of the following actions?

• Walk. Or donate to our first annual “WOW! Walk for Women”

Our first annual walk on March 8 was awesome! Several hundred women, men and children came out on International Women's Day to walk in solidarity with women around the world, and raise funds to help make their lives better. You can still make a donation to the walk - click here!

• Organize.  Invite some friends for some together time and ask them to join you in making a commitment to help another woman across the globe

Pull some friends together for a party with a cause - WOW... Look what women can do! So far, WOW! party hosts from coast to coast have raised over $10,200! Party party!

• Recognize.  Honor a woman you admire by helping another woman across the globe

Give a gift in honor of a woman you care about, and help a woman who really needs it.

• Share. Tell five of your friends about International Women’s Day

Forward an email to five women you know.
