INSPIRING WOMEN FUNDRAISING GALA
Pre-order your tickets to the Inspiring Women Fundraising Gala today. We are excited to welcome Trisha Meili a.k.a. "Central Park Jogger." as our keynote speaker (www.centralparkjogger.com) Her story definitely relates to safety and that ties in with what the CSV is all about - starting to educate young children at an early age regarding their personal safety. Trisha will be sharing the lessons she learned during her healing, finding resilience (ability to come back), she offers lessons on facing challenges and the importance of being able to reach out for support.Trisha will highlight the power of the present moment and deliver the message of being proud of what you can do - it builds and boosts your level of self esteem. Like I said we are thrilled to be able to bring Trisha to our fundraising event as the key note speaker. We are not limiting this event to Brantford only registrants and will be marketing this event outside of our area as we believe all women/men deserve to hear not only Trisha's message but all the "Inspiring Women" we have secured as speakers.
