Empowering the Next Generation: i-tri's Sweet 16 Giving Day

October 7, 2024 (Sag Harbor, NY)—As we anticipate i-tri's Sweet 16 Giving Day on October 24th at 10 AM, it's a perfect time to reflect on the incredible impact this organization has had over the past 16 years. i-tri has touched the lives of over 1,400 young girls, empowering them to realize their full potential and become the best versions of themselves. The Sweet 16 theme symbolizes the transformative journey of the i-tri girls and the unwavering support they have received from their community. This year's Giving Day is a beacon of hope, inviting community members from all walks of life to unite in empowering the next generation of i-tri girls.

Founder and Visionary Chief Officer, Theresa Roden, will engage in heartfelt conversations with selected i-tri alumni and community members who have played an integral role in nurturing the dreams of these young women. Their stories of resilience, determination, and the profound impact of generosity will resonate deeply with all who witness them. The Giving Day streaming event will take place at LTV in East Hampton, providing a platform for these empowering conversations. Leading up to the annual Giving Day Stream, i-tri will host "Dine For a Cause " from October 11th to October 21st. This initiative kicks off on The Day Of The Girl, a day dedicated to celebrating and empowering girls around the world. Partner restaurants will pledge a percentage of one featured dish to support i-tri's cause, offering an opportunity for community members to dine with purpose.

"Dine For a Cause Week" restaurants and items include:

Sen—Kara Mango Roll
Kpasa—Guacamole and Salsa
Vin Sur Vignt- French Onion Soup
What The Falafel- Baked Falafel Wrap
Nikki's Not Dog Stand- Texas

The ultimate goal for this giving season is to raise $350,000 by October 24th, which will provide essential equipment, training, education, and transportation to empower every i-tri girl. We invite you to join us in being part of the i-tri movement and making a tangible difference in the future of these remarkable young women.
