On March 4th for CARE is having it's second annual International Women's Day event - Half the Sky LIve.
We have some tickets to give away for the event in a few cities ... Ann Arbor, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Miami, and Atlanta.
I sure hope you'll try for a couple. I'm such a lurker, but I'd love to give something back to my fellow Kossacks.
Half the Sky LIVE will present the special, one-night-only film presentation of 'Half the Sky,' the best-sellling book by Nicolas Kristoff and Sheryl WuDunn, an evening of discussion, musical performance, and the premier of Woinshet, a short film directed by Marisa Tomei and Lisa Leone. Woinshet documents the trials and tribulations of an Ethiopian woman who surmounts the dual challenges of discrimination and violence, whose story is referenced in Half the Sky.
CARE, which was founded in 1945, has been working on the ground in over seventy countries, where it has focused on the needs of women. Embracing the philosophy that women's welfare is integral to the interests of the community, the organization has been striving to elevate the status of women's health, education, and economic conditions.
Half the Sky LIVE will be screened in scores of theaters across the country. Helene Gayle, president and CEO of CARE, stated, "Half the Sky LIVE is more than just a night at the movies - it's a rallying cry to stand up and join a growing worldwide movement to empower women and girls to fight global poverty."
A limited number of free tickets in Ann Arbor, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Miami, and Atlanta are available through cultureID at http://cultureID.com
Hope some of you guys are interested and win some tickets.
