Hello! We are a community outreach team from George Fox’s BUSN 250 class who are raising funds to support StandUpGirl.com, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support to pregnant people and new parents.
A significant expense for Stand Up Girl is the free educational courses they provide, which include a range of topics, including preparing for pregnancy, caring for toddlers, and practical instructions such as how to bottle feed and change diapers.
We are kindly asking the George Fox community to consider donating to help cover the expense of these courses. Even a small amount helps to provide resources for struggling parents, both locally and nationally.
You can donate using this link. Thank you for your support!
