Dear John, 

As we get ready for our End of Year campaign, I’m reaching out with a heartfelt mission: we want to help even more women and girls in 2026—and we can’t do it without YOU! 

Around the world, women and girls face challenges that hold them back from their dreams. We provide access to the education and support they need to break through those barriers. Last year, with your help, we reached nearly 48,000 women and girls, igniting hope and creating lasting change for their families and communities.

This Giving Tuesday, let’s use this hope to spark action! Here are some ways you can make a difference: 

1. Spread the Word: Share our End of Year campaign on your social media channels and inspire others to get involved.
    
2. Peer-to-Peer Fundraising: Rally your family and friends to support a cause close to your heart.
    
3. Donate: Surprise! Thanks to a $10,000 matching gift from Nick Stenson Beauty and Soroptimist members Heidi McNamar and Rosemarie Burton of SI/Greater Hartford, CT (North Atlantic Region), and Charlie Rodgers of SI/Modesto, CA (Sierra Pacific Region), every dollar you give up to $10,000 will be doubled—creating twice the opportunity for women and girls to achieve their dreams!
    
4. Celebrate: Learn more about our partner, Nick Stenson Beauty, and explore their holiday collection. We're grateful for their generous support of Soroptimist / LiveYourDream.org and our mission to empower women and girls through education.  
 
5. Corporate Matching: Check if your employer has a matching gift program to amplify the impact of your contribution.

With just a few weeks until December 2, your support can help set us up for success in reaching more women and girls in 2026. 

With gratitude, 



Sue Riney, 2025-2026 President
