Erica Blodgett's Fundraiser

Celebrate Erica Blodgett's 50th Birthday by celebrating WriteGirl
WriteGirl helps teens write their way to brilliant futures! Support WriteGirl by donating today!
For almost half my life WriteGirl has been supporting and encouraging teen girls and young women to believe in their voice, to explore their hearts and minds through their writing, and believe in the opportunity of their future.
And that's saying something, cause I'm turning the big 5-0 this year!
Everyone of us mentors have said at some point - I wish WriteGirl had been in my life when I was a kid. I definitely feel this way. But even as a volunteer, WriteGirl has been so important in my life for so many years.
Founded in 2001, WriteGirl is a nationally recognized creative writing and mentoring organization serving more than 500 teens annually, mainly from LA's high-density neighborhoods. WriteGirl envisions a world where all teens live, write, and speak boldly as they become inspiring, transformative leaders, driven to effect positive change in their communities and the world. WriteGirl alums go on to a wide variety of careers, including careers in the creative economy, such as WriteGirl alum, poet and activist Amanda Gorman.
I’ve created a fundraiser to celebrate my birthday! I don't need more stuff around my house (except maybe books). I need strong young women getting ready to lead our future and share their stories. You can help me raise vital funds to continue WriteGirl programming! Here in Los Angeles and around the world this work is more important than ever.
Check out my fundraising page and please give what you can!
Giving online is easy and fast, and your support will make a real difference. I appreciate your help!
