Upon moving to Washington, a few friends introduced me to a local women’s organization, the Tenfold Forty. Consisting of 40 women, the ladies of Tenfold “conduct philanthropic efforts that support women’s health issues and promote a balanced lifestyle for its members by bringing together the mind, body and community,” according to the group’s mission statement.
Founded in 2009 by a group of professional living and working in the District, the invite-only organization works regularly to give back to the community through service projects in the Washington area while providing continuing education and enrichment for members at its monthly meetings.
To attain its goal of raising money for women’s health issues, specifically cervical cancer research at the Johns Hopkins Center for Cervical Dysplasia Tenfold (of which I have recently become a proud member) is hosting its annual—and largest—fundraiser of the year: Winter Wonderland – A Vacation From Your Hibernation.
Taking place on January 29 at Bayou in Georgetown, the event will have a live band, open bar, amazing raffle prizes (imagine you and three friends at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) and a guaranteed good time all rolled into one.
For those of you in the area who would like to attend, you can purchase your tickets here. For anyone who unfortunately won’t be able to join us, I encourage you to donate to this very worthy cause here.
Look forward to seeing y’all there!
