Together with CARE, a non-profit that helps empower women and girls in the fight against global poverty, we are excited to launch the Pennsylvania Conference for Women CAREpackage. This initiative allows our powerful community of women here in Pennsylvania to get involved and make a difference in the lives of impoverished women and girls globally.

We invite you to join with us and take action by visiting www.care.org/pcw. As you explore the Pennsylvania Conference for Women CAREpackage you will learn about various ways you can get involved by donating your time and/or by sending customized gifts of health, education and financial services to girls and women who are making changes for themselves and their communities. This is a great opportunity to be a part of a powerful experience as we mobilize around a common interest in supporting the well being and development of women and girls.
