Sponsor Tahirih’s Annual Fundraising Benefit
Tahirih’s annual fundraising Benefit is our single largest income-generating event of the year and an important platform to spread awareness about the plight of women and girls in need. Tahirih’s Benefit is attended by a diverse community of supporters, including many distinguished guests and participants.
Tahirih’s 2009 Benefit was a resounding success and a moving celebration of twelve years of service dedicated to courageous women and girls seeking justice from gender-based violence. Tahirih was grateful to have actor Sam Waterston, of the critically acclaimed NBC television show Law & Order, as the keynote speaker and honored guest. In addition, Congressman James Moran, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, and Tahirih Client Speaker Isha Kargbo provided touching remarks. Read more about the 2009 Benefit
