As reported soon after the October 2nd IAAVS Social Hour, the event was a success. Despite unsure weather and poor traffic conditions, guests of I Am A Visual Statement arrived excited and ready to support the designer t-shirt line as well as the charities it supports. Visual Statements Photography was on scene to capture the evening as it unfolded...here are a few of the pictures from that evening.
The Nomad Grunge in Eggplant flew off the tables as the night progressed...women love eggplant!
I Am A Visual Statement would like to thank the One Ninety One Club for a wonderful evening, great food and drinks, and a great staff! We would also like to thank the members of the One Ninety One Club who also supported us with t-shirt purchases.
The evening was fun-filled and full of energy as women and men went from table to table selecting the shirts that they would leave with that evening.
At the end of the night everyone left with their t-shirts inside of their very own signature IAAVS bag
Although this is something that women have been saying for many years it is becoming the standard topic of conversation throughout not only the United States but countries worldwide...when we help women and girls we all benefit. Forbes Magazine online version Forbes.com wrote an article discussing this need and sharing how the impact of organizations such as Women for Women International (the charity IAAVS supports) and others have made so far in impoverished nations; as well as providing statistics provided by the Nike Foundation on their Girls Effect website.
Forbes.com contributors Leila Leghmara and Felix Marquardt wrote that:
While girls around the world are not getting anywhere near the same investment in attention and education boys are, the phenomenon is not measured properly in many countries and empirical data is therefore scarce on the impact of women's education on societies. Still, the little data we do have suggests women are the single most important vector of progress in the world today--measured by any standards, including the World Bank's, the United Nations' or Amartya Sen's (Forbes, October 6, 2009).
From the research compiled it was said that when a girl in a developing country receives at least seven years of education, she marries four years later than the norm, and she 2.2 fewer children which directly impacts the economic growth...lowered birth rates and increased growth rates. This is more than enough motivation to support organizations such as Women for Women International with ongoing sponsorship of a woman, recurring donations, or participating in raising necessary monies through events and activities like the Run for Congo Women movement. Lend your support, help and woman so that you can help the world!
The October 2nd Social Hour hosted by I Am A Visual Statement (IAAVS) was a complete success. The team would like to thank everyone that attended and purchased one or more of our tees. Special thanks to the One Ninety Club, its staff and members. We will be posting pictures from the event in the upcoming days. Stay tuned!
