Hey everyone! I am inviting you all to participate in my “Dressember” team this December!
“Dressember” is a fundraiser to help prevent, intervene and protect the lives of trafficking victims and survivors worldwide. Ladies, by wearing a dress every day of the month of December, you create awareness and the opportunity for conversation in your community. Men, you can participate, too, either by simply spreading the word or wearing a dress shirt and tie every day in the month of December.
Not all of us will be in Newberg this month, but that makes for even more widespread conversation. To participate, please go to Dressember.com and create your personal page, then look for the team “GFU for change” and join the team!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email Carissa Bixler (cbixler18@georgefox.edu) Also, if you want to be part of a Facebook group, please fill out this Google survey.
