About this Event
Please join us for our annual ART AUCTION FUNDRAISER in support of Daughters Rising!
Daughters Rising is an anti-human trafficking, women's empowerment NGO based in Northern Thailand. Through employment, education and outreach we empower at-risk women and girls to break cycles of exploitation and intergenerational poverty in their communities. Our scholarship program gives critical funding for tuition and living expenses to ethnic minority women and refugees who otherwise would have no access to higher education.
We currently support 51 brilliant young women who have overcome incredible adversity--many have escaped war zones in Myanmar--to pursue their academic dreams. We are inspired every day by their courage, perseverance and fierceness. We are committed to keeping them in school-- but we need your help!
By purchasing a work, you not only add a fantastic piece of art to your collection, you also help fund tuition for one of our amazing students!
Our goes **LIVE** NOVEMBER 9!
