Interview: Spa Fundraiser Co-Founder Catherine Pierce talks about the Purple Pamper Package and Why Violence Against Women is an Important Cause for Her
As part of our annual year-end holiday season fundraising, The Pixel Project has teamed up with Spa Fundraiser to present the Purple Pamper Package programme whereby our supporters and followers can treat themselves to a mini face-and-hand spa pamper session for just $25 while raising funds for the cause to end violence against women.
Better still, donors and supporters have the option of make their charity dollars stretch twice as far by also sponsoring one or more Purple Pamper Package spa certificates for any of the 30 women’s shelters who have signed up to receive the spa sessions.
The Purple Pamper Package holiday giving programme runs from 25 November 2011 – 1 January 2012 and you can buy the spa certificates for yourself and your loved ones and/or sponsor some for a listed women’s shelter at Spa Fundraiser’s Purple Pamper Package page.
We caught up with Catherine Tanner Pierce, co-Founder of Spa Fundraiser and she talks to us about why she started Spa Fundraiser, why violence against women is a cause close to her heart and her ideas about how we can all help stop violence against women worldwide. Continue reading
