Special Pearl Sales Events Raise Nearly $12,000
In February 2010, Amy Lin, renowned pearl designer, returned to the United States for a special series of pearl sales to support the Tahirih Justice Center. Amy’s 2010 pearl events kicked off in Houston, Texas and ended one week later with a special event at the Red Hat Restaurant in Irvington, NY, which was hosted by actress and Tahirih Board Member, Debra Winger.
Since 2007, Amy has generously supported Tahirih by donating 40% of the sales of her exquisite jewelry during Tahirih’s “Pearls to Support Women and Girls” events. These most recent sales were a resounding success and raised nearly $12,000 to protect women and girls fleeing violence.
The Tahirih Justice Center is extremely grateful for the hard work of so many in making these events a wonderful success. Everyone who volunteered, hosted an event, assisted with the planning, and bought pearls contributed to our success. A special thank you to the event hosts and volunteers:
