In celebration of International Women’s Day, a cocktail benefit will be held this Friday, March 12 to support the China Education Initiative (CEI), an innovative non-profit organization taking a unique approach to eliminating educational inequity in China by enlisting the US and China’s most promising future leaders in the effort.
Comprised of a silent auction, keynote speakers, networking and women-to-women mentorship opportunities, this benefit is aimed at helping create equality in education.
Joining together to ‘Mentor Future Women Leaders’, this event is an opportunity to inspire women to achieve their fullest potential, raise awareness about critical women’s issues and create an opportunity to unite and mobilize for meaningful change.
All proceeds will help fully fund 2 women CEI Teaching Fellows to serve as teachers and develop after-school mentorship programs for girls in rural Chinese schools.
