I’m truly excited to extend a personal invitation to have you join me in becoming part of Women Who Lead for Women in Need. Our passion is to make a significant difference in the lives of homeless women and their children! Homelessness for women and children is a critical issue in our Portland Metropolitan area. Homelessness among women, who are often mothers, has risen 22% due to domestic abuse, poverty and addiction. Please join me to make a difference in the life of vulnerable women and their children to this invitation only” luncheon on October 2nd, 2014 at the Multnomah Athletic Club.
All proceeds will support the newly acquired LifeChange Center for Women & Their Children in Beaverton, sponsored by UGM. Nationally known social entrepreneur and CNN Hero Anne Mahlum will be our speaker. Anne grew up with an alcoholic father who had a hidden gambling addiction and, as a result, threw her frustration and anger into running. Several years ago she started running clubs with homeless people so they could get back on their feet. She founded a non-profit called Back On My Feet which now has chapters in 11 cities in the US. Here’s the link to PASSION PROJECT: Anne Mahlum and Anne’s website with her story.
