SHE FOX

In honour of International Women’s Day today, the World Famous CFOX has flipped to SHE-FOX in support and celebration!

We will be celebrating local BC charities for women and donating $500 every hour to a different charity! We’ll also be creating awareness of female run businesses on the SHE-Fox Instagram stories. Go tag one you love!

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women’s achievements or rally for women’s equality.

A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change. So let’s all choose to challenge.

We’re so proud to work with an incredible team of diverse and talented women at The World Famous CFOX, both on and off the mic. Check out our social media @cfoxvan all day today as we highlight these incredible women!

How will you help forge a gender equal world? Celebrate women’s achievements. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality!

Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland
About: As an organization that seeks to build self-esteem, we believe that every person has limitless potential and individual strengths. We seek to maximize these traits in each person who is a part of Big Sisters: the Little Sisters who haven’t yet seen what they are capable of; the mentors who are realizing their capability as role models; our supporters and community partners whose collaboration and backing is needed to help us build sustainable programs; and the volunteers and staff whose skills and knowledge help guide and grow this organization.
Info: One of the most important aspects of effective mentoring is being there. When we consistently show up for our Little Sisters – as mentors, caseworkers, champions and advocates – it matters to them. When we show up – to a meeting, to work, or to a get-together with a Little Sister – we bring everything we’ve got to the table, every time. We are present, open and engaged.
