Wow. The Revlon Challenge is officially over, and we're simply in awe. You just led Days for Girls to a very strong 3rd place finish, and raised $757,905, PLUS the $75,000 prize we get for 3rd place. That's amazing. We were bookended by cancer research institutions and a national diabetes foundation, and you ensured we more than held our own. Last year we raised $177,000 during the Challenge, so this is pretty monumental.

We can't thank you enough, for showing up in so many ways. You ARE Days for Girls. Your commitment to girls and women is changing our world, with each Kit, with each girl who is now able to go to school, with each woman who learns that there is nothing shameful about who she is. When women and girls rise, we all do. Our world today is different than it was yesterday, because of you. Thank you.

We look forward to keeping you posted on all the change that you will make possible in the coming months, and to joining with you next year to bring home first. In the meantime, thank you for the amazing strides you take every day for girls and women. We can't thank you enough for being part of the Days for Girls team.

All my love,
Leah
