WOMEN’S FUND OF LONG ISLAND HOSTS HAMPTONS SUMMER KICK-OFF EVENT ON SATURDAY, JUNE 6TH TO CELEBRATE GIRLSFLI

The Women’s Fund of Long Island (“WFLI”) will be hosting a Hamptons Kick-Off event: We are the Change – which will take place on Saturday, June 6th at the Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, Long Island.  WFLI will honor Academy Award winner and women's equality advocate Patricia Arquette. Hosting the event will be Annette Richardson, Senior Advisor at the UN Office for Partnerships who recently spearheaded the UN Women Beijing +20 commemorative event with Hillary Rodham Clinton and Marcia Dyson, the founder and CEO of Women's Global Initiative, a for-profit organization that works to enhance the lives of women by increasing their wealth, education, and civil participation.

This much anticipated evening will bring together in one energizing place the most passionate and committed advocates and those who believe in the power of WFLI's work to empower young girls across Long Island.

Stacey Scarpone, Executive Director of WFLI said, “WFLI addresses critical issues affecting  women and girls on Long Island by ensuring their health and safety, fostering social and economic justice, providing a means to financial stability, and promoting leadership for the women and girls in our communities. ”

Tickets can be purchased online in advance for $250.00 and will be available at the door.  For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit the organization’s website: www.womensfundli.org<http://www.womensfundli.org>

Funds raised on June 6th will go to support Women’s Fund programs including GirlsFLI, which brings together high school girls each year from diverse social-economic, racial, religious, and ethnic backgrounds across Long Island. The program empowers girls and provides the tools for them to tackle pressing issues in their communities and their lives -- gang violence, self esteem, drugs, bullying, human trafficking and poverty-- and teaches them how to collaborate together to create strategies for change. These young women come away from the program with leadership skills, confidence, and a strong sense of their role as changemakers in building a more promising future.

This event sponsors include FAIR Vodka, Long Island Pulse Magazine and Sebonack Golf Club.
