Girls Write Now Awards
On May 19, the third annual Girls Write Now Awards were held at Three Sixty° Tribeca. The views of our diverse speakers – emerging and established authors, editors, journalists – were even more breathtaking than the panoramic views of Manhattan. It was a night honoring women who paved the way for our girls to break through boundaries, both in life and in writing, to realize their promise and the possibilities of change. 250 guests joined us, and with the incredible generosity of our sponsors, guests, Board, and Honorary and Host Committee, we raised double last year’s revenue. As Girls Write Now expands our cutting edge programs, these funds will allow more young women the chance to share their stories with the world.
