InPower Women, a network of high-achieving professional women has selected the District Alliance for Safe Housing (DASH) as its primary beneficiary in launching the InPower Women’s Philanthropy Circle.
“DASH embodies the principles of InPower in the unique and powerful way it helps women and their families out of abusive situations,” said Dana Theus, Founder of InPower Women. “Power grows from the inside out. In using this philosophy to provide housing in ways that not only keep women safe, but help them rebuild their lives, including their credit records, DASH is making a huge difference and helping more women stay away from their abusers.
InPower Women is raising money to support DASH’s upcoming Awards Luncheon on March 28, 2012, which will honor the following individuals as “Allies in Change”: Jamila Larson, Executive Direct of The Homeless Children’s Playtime Project; Andre3w Lazerow, Partner, Covington & Burling LLP; Heather Burns & Kathleen Maloy, Live to Give Charitable Trust; Gustavo Velasquez, Director and Alexis Taylor, General Counsel, DC Office of Human Rights; Paul Aguggia, Partner, Townsend, LLP; Julie Hamre, Volunteer; and Jim Graham, Ward 1 Councilmember, DC City Council.
“I’m so honored to have the support of InPower Women,” said Peg Hacskaylo. “Women are extraordinarily powerful, resilient and strong and we love the idea of creating ties between women of all socio-economic groups.”
