Dear Friends & Supporters,
As many of you already know, today is my last day as the Executive Director of FAIR Girls. For those supporters who missed our announcement in June, here is a full copy for your convenience: https://fairgirls.org/press-releases/
Dawanna Kennedy, our new Interim Executive Director, and I have been busy making this transition a seamless and successful one. Please do not hesitate to reach out to connect with Dawanna over the coming months, as she is excited to meet all of our amazing invested supporters!
In other exciting news, we held our second virtual fundraiser and silent auction, Be the Light, Be the Change on June 3rd! Can we call ourselves virtual fundraising pros now? Thank you to our partners and local leaders, staff, and Executive Board who filmed videos of support for us, and our vendors who worked tirelessly to pull it all together. A heartfelt thank you to the survivors who shared their lived experiences with us and let us truly see our impact in action. And thank you all – 0ur loyal supporters – for helping us raise over $80,000 in critical operating funds for FAIR Girls! You are the light that enables positive change for so many of the survivors that we work with.
If you missed our live hour program on June 3rd, please visit www.fairgirls.org/bethelight to take a look at our wonderful appeal videos, and a playback of the entire program. Lastly, I wanted to personally say thank you to everyone that helped FAIR Girls get to where we are today. It has been such a privilege to work with you all and I am forever grateful for the support, encouragement, trust, and empowerment you have given me over these years as Executive Director. It has been my honor to lead this organization and to work with a truly exceptional staff and Executive Board, on behalf of the survivors that we serve. I will take all the wisdom gained and perspective earned with me as I remain committed to ending human trafficking in our communities.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we enter this exciting next phase of FAIR Girls’ future. Thank you for your unwavering faith in FAIR Girls and our mission to end human trafficking, one life at a time. Thank you!
Be well,
Erin B. Andrews
Executive Director, FAIR Girls
