FIRST IMPRESSION CHALLENGE
Let your voice inspire others to join your fight!
THE CHALLENGE
For the First Impression Challenge, we asked the warriors to tell us who they are, why they want to be a Charity Warrior and what they are fighting for. This was their first opportunity to wow the Charity Warrior judges - and get the public excited about their nonprofits. We wanted to know about the “mission-moment” that called on their inner warriors, and to better understand why and how their organization is making change.
THE WINNER
Nora Allen-Wiles of Girls Rock Boston introduced us to her inner warrior inspired us to join her fight for girls.
Stay tuned! Nora will be a featured guest on a podcast with Nancy Frates, ALS Advocate.
