November 1: Battle of the Sexes Tennis Festival
As many of you know, I am on the board of The Guerrant Foundation, a non-profit whose main purpose is to provide small business loans for the world's poor. Ann Guerrant, the company's founder, is a friend of mine and I have seen first-hand how passionate she is about her mission and how careful she is with the money we raise.
The Guerrant Foundation provides small business loans as little as $40 to as much as $400 that change people's lives. This kind of work provides small business owners with a starting point, which they can then build off of and thrive from. Check out a short video about the foundation here.
I am on a mission to raise $5,000 this year for the foundation by November 1, 2014. That is the date of our most important event of the year, the Battle of the Sexes Tennis Fundraiser. 8 women (including myself) and 8 men will be battling it out on the court to see who will prevail, in an ode to the 1973 Battle of the Sexes match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.
I just wanted to take this time to cordially invite you to the event, which will be held at The Phoenician Resort on November 1st, from 2-4pm. There will be plenty of music, food, raffles, and of course, tennis.
Please consider making a donation to this noble and growing foundation today. Whatever you are able to give helps. All you need to do is CLICK HERE to donate.
