Our Annual High Tea and Silent Auction is our marquee event, which attracted over 100 attendees in 2019. The High Tea started because we needed to find a way to engage people, promote our organization and our all too important programs for girls. This year we will be presenting on Facebook and YouTube and we know that our parents, girls, donors and volunteers as well as guests will be in supporting this event.
Our goal is to raise a minimum of $10,000 to support our flagship programs for our girls. We have come a long way, but we still need your support.
Our three flagship programs include Teen Table Talk, which provides a safe space for teen girls to talk with peers dealing with similar issues with the guidance of a qualified mental health counselor; STEAM Scholars, with the goal of this program to introduce young girls to science, technology, engineering, arts, and math careers and highlight the pathway to pursue these fields in high school and college; finally there is the Entrepreneurs Club. This club provides a refreshing environment for girls to learn about starting up a business through various innovative programs that combine entrepreneurship and business fundamentals, mentoring, and activity-based learning.
Registration is now open. Each paid registrant will receive a "Tea box" with goodies and teas for the event. There will be "door" prizes and a Silent Auction please attend and support.
