Have you ever been to an underwear party? Well now is your chance! To be clear this is NOT a party where you come dressed in only your underwear. :)

If you live in the greater Salt Lake City area, join us on March 12 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm for a fun social evening with other people who are passionate about changing the world by educating girls. The cost of admission? An 8-10 pack of girls’ underwear, sizes 10, 12, or 14.

Why, you ask? Each year our great volunteers make dozens and dozens of menstrual kits for our young female students. These kits help each girl get back as many as 135 days of middle school. The most expensive part of the kits — most of which our volunteers make — is the underwear!

So come contribute a pack of underwear and learn more about our Girls Project during this friendly event. There will be light food and beverages available, along with inspiring company and a chance to feel pretty good about yourself. We will also share information about how you can volunteer to help make girls’ menstrual kits.

You can purchase 8-10 packs of girls underwear at places like Target, or use our Amazon wish list to order some up. Even if you can’t join us, a wish list donation lets us know you are there in spirit!

Learn more and RSVP for this free event here. A generous member of Mali Rising’s 50 Women Campaign is hosting this event in their home. After you RSVP, location and other details will be sent to you.
