A note from SUDAN EDUCATION FOUNDATION: Simply Speaking is our largest fundraising event each year with an attendance of over 100 members, philanthropists, business owners and community activists, all passionate about our mission: to empower women to break barriers in order to build their futures and strengthen their communities. We invite you to support the Junior League of Pasadena and Simply Speaking by bidding on one or more of the amazing items in our silent auction! The funds raised from your participation will enable the League to continue supporting volunteers and community leaders as we work together on our focus area: supporting the development of women in our community by strengthening their business, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills. The focus area has given life to a variety of projects under this umbrella including, but not limited to: ● Women’s Career Workshops covering topics such as resume writing and mock interviewing, ● Participation in the Little Black Dress initiative, a week-long social media awareness and fundraising campaign to illustrate the restrictions poverty places on choices, opportunities, and access to resources, ● Advocating for legislation focused on making it better for women in the workplace. ● Development Drives, in which members donate items ranging from portfolios to professional attire, supporting the success of workshop attendees. A new initiative this year was a noteworthy Diaper Drive in which over 4,000 diapers were donated to families in need. Thank you to our donors and bidders!

Item delivery: After you have paid for any auction items that you won, the event organizer will contact you to coordinate pick-up.
