The HerStories Project

Good news! Advance donations of $20 or more for the benefit portion of HerStories Fest are accepted through Thursday, March 17. Visit the Women’s Center of Greater Lansing, Gone Wired Cafe, Everybody Reads Bookstore, East Lansing Food Co-op, or Triple Goddess Bookstore to collect yours! Only advance donors qualify for the raffle prize of $100 in gift certificates. The winner will be announced during the Benefit Concert. (For anyone picking up tickets but not attending the event: be sure to provide your contact info at the time of donation to ensure receiving your prize.)

Are you weighing whether or not to donate in advance of HerStories Fest and/or bid on silent auction items? Please consider how doing so will provide a gift that keeps giving. The funds raised for the WCGL will support its ability to benefit our community, which includes connecting people with life-saving services. Additionally, the raffle prize of $100 in gift certificates and auction items make great gifts for birthdays, holidays like Mother’s and Father’s Day, or an expression of everyday appreciation.

The silent auction at HerStories Fest offers original artwork, services, handmade goods, and more, thanks to the generous contributions of local artists and businesses. Right now select items are displayed at Gone Wired (2021 E. Michigan Ave.) for early bidding! And what’s in the silent auction? Artwork by Roxanne Frith, reiki sessions from Blue Sky Spirit of East Lansing, books from Capital City Collectibles, a gift basket from Paramount Coffee, and – of course – much more!

In support of HerStories Fest and ultimately the Women’s Center, Avon representative Leslie Darling has set up an online fundraiser with 20% going toward the event! Purchases must use the promotional code HERSTORIESFEST at checkout. The website to make these orders is http://lesliedarling.avonrepresentative.com/ .
