Girl Power T-shirts
Have you ever thought, "I'd really love a soft t-shirt designed by a Girls Advisory Board member, printed by a local woman-owned business, that supports Hardy Girls Healthy Women?"  You're in luck! Our friends at Hi, Pal have done it! When you buy one of these fun (so soft!) shirts, Hi, Pal will donate a shirt to a girl who attends our conferences. This means we can spend our donated funds ON GIRLS not t-shirts! We'll have 600 girls attending, can you help us by sponsoring one today?
Part of our work is building coalition and identifying allies for girls. We often meet incredible organizations doing important work. We think you should meet them, too! In this section, we will highlight their work. If there are other folks or organizations you think we should meet, let us know! This month, meet:
Choose Yourself 
They create spaces where they gather women for conversations that center their narratives and humanize their experiences. We are excited to be partnering with them bringing their "Girl Talk" event to central Maine.

You can read more about the work of Choose Yourself by visiting their website or following them on Facebook.
