At Go Girl, we encourage women to get involved in the world around them. On our Twitter page, in less than 140 characters, we say that “we encourage travel, global engagement, volunteerism/activism, and general butt-kicking.”
But now, we’re not only encouraging it — we’re also living it!
May 24th is the launch date of our very first Go Girl Live! event, and its debut in Chicago will carve a template for other Go Girls to use around the world to gather and simultaneously support a worthy cause.
Our first event focuses on sex and women’s health. A happy hour and workshop called “The Anatomy of Pleasure” will benefit the Chicago Women’s Health Center, which provides healthcare on a sliding scale for women without insurance. We’ll also have special “Go to Girls” stoking the conversation. These include a sex blogger, a global women’s health activist, and others. If you donate $15 to the cause, we’ll also give you a free Go Girl cocktail and a gift bag with treats from local women-run and women-focused businesses. It doesn’t get much better than that!
Here are the details:
