10×10 Executive Director, Holly Gordon, and Executive Producer, Tom Yellin, will introduce the 10×10 project to the Philadelphia community on Thursday May 19.

Marjorie Margolies will present as the evening’s featured guest speaker.

10×10 is a groundbreaking film, a global social action campaign and an extraordinary opportunity: Investing today in adolescent girls living in the developing world creates a ripple effect that transforms families, communities and entire countries for generations. By harnessing the power of media and forging relationships with forward-thinking, action-oriented nonprofit and corporate partners, 10×10 brings together a global community with a common purpose— to remake the future.

10×10 affects change three ways: (1) by driving resources to girl-focused programs already operating on the ground that are proven models for change; (2) by penetrating the public consciousness and creating a vast grassroots network; and (3) by using that groundswell of support to provoke governmental, institutional and policy changes that empower adolescent girls, the world’s single most powerful untapped resource.

It’s an important step and we hope Noor Al- Fayez is the first of many women officials to serve on the Council.
