Grandmothers Campaign Launch
March 7, 2006
To commemorate International Women's Day, the Foundation launched a 'Grandmothers to Grandmothers' campaign on March 7, 2006. The campaign seeks to raise awareness and mobilize support in Canada for Africa's grandmothers. Toronto's Four Seasons Hotel generously donated the venue for the launch of the campaign.
