Because I Am A Girl: Pink LemonAid Event


Because I Am A Girl Pink LemonAid Event

Did you know…

70% of the one billion people living in extreme poverty are women and girls?

The challenge may seem quite overwhelming, but there is hope. Because I Am A Girl (or BIAAG) is an organization that believes girls deserve the same opportunities that are given to boys (and we wholeheartedly agree!) and they are working to invest in girls around the world, as a key to change.

September 2010–BIAAG held a Pink LemonAid Event at various locations across Toronto, raising awareness and funds for their campaign, with the help of some celebrities that lent a hand to the cause.

Check out our photos from their time at MuchMusic and don’t forget to visit the website to see how you can get involved!

REMEMBER: Because I am a girl… I can change the world.
