Pearl Sales Events Expand, Raising More for Tahirih’s Work
For a third year, Tahirih partnered with Amylin’s Pearls & Jewelry to raise money to protect women and girls from violence. Each year, Amy Lin travels to the United States from Shanghai, China to sell high-quality discounted pearls at home events and office lobby events organized by Tahirih. The Tahirih Justice Center receives 40% of the entire sale.
We are thrilled to report that this year we expanded the Pearls to Support Women and Girls event to Houston, in addition to Washington, DC, and it was a resounding success. In total, Tahirih raised nearly $60,000! The Tahirih Justice Center is extremely grateful for the hard work of so many in making our pearl sales event a wonderful success. Everyone who volunteered, hosted an event, assisted with the planning, and bought pearls contributed to our being able to raise such a significant amount to protect women and girls from violence. We are also indebted to Amy Lin for her continued support of our work. Her high-quality pearls, personal touch, and generosity in working with Tahirih made it possible for the event to be so successful.
