We raised money and friends for our 3rd annual Mother’s Day Tea in Fayetteville.
Every day is mother’s day at Impact Global Health Alliance Global
Dressed in white gloves and hats, local mothers and daughters from across the Fayetteville-area sipped on tea and eat scrumptious desserts to honor special women in their lives this Mother’s Day. However, this was no ordinary Mother’s Day tea, these mothers and daughters have a bigger mission: to support mothers and children in high-need communities around the globe. Together, with Raleigh-based global nonprofit, Impact Global Health Alliance Global, women raised money to provide healthcare-related services and education for mothers and children who do not have access to basic medical care and live in remote locations where the nearest hospital can be hours away.
One highlight was the silent auction that included paintings and hand made items from the places we work. People got gifts for their loved ones and supported women’s businesses as well as donated to Impact Global Health Alliance Global! Another highlight was the photobooth. Check out the great photos here!
