The Global Women’s Empowerment Club at Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) recently held a successful Snowflake Drive to benefit 180 Turning Lives Around.

More than $400 worth of gift cards and over 400 items were donated to the Holiday Boutique of 180 Turning Lives Around, a private non-profit organization dedicated to ending domestic and sexual violence in our community. The donated items helped local families experience holiday cheer despite financial circumstances resulting from domestic violence.

“We were overjoyed to see so many RFH students helping such a worthy cause. More than 120 students participated,” RFH English teachers and Global Empowerment Co-Advisors Alexis Marinov and Hilary Strauch. “Thanks to their generosity, this year’s Snowflake Drive was an even bigger success than last year’s. It was an incredible experience to donate so many necessary items to 180 Turning Lives Around. We encourage everyone to visit the organization’s web site at 180 turning lives around inc. to see how they can get involved in other projects.”

Global Women’s Empowerment is an RFH student organization dedicated to supporting initiatives that help empower women around the world. Co-Presidents for the 2016-17 school year are Taylor Glassman and Avery Wall. Careena Menzel served as Snowflake Drive chairperson.
