Blair Manning’s LBDI 2021 Campaign hasn't added a story.
Can one black dress for five short days create awareness about issues that affect others for a lifetime?
The iconic Little Black Dress (LBD) is usually thought of as just a fashionable wardrobe staple– great for business or a fun night out. So why is the LBD at the center of an awareness campaign about some of the challenges our Louisville youth face? By wearing the same LBD for 5 days in a row, my fellow Advocates and I hope to illustrate the restrictions that youth homelessness places on choices, opportunities, and access to resources.
This is my third year participating in this campaign and at the end of the week, during my reflections, I'm constantly amazed at the little lessons I learn and the small amount of insights I gain into such a significant issue in our community.
Throughout the week, I will join over 100 LBDI Advocates across the community to:
- RAISE AWARENESS of the challenges impacting Louisville youth experiencing homelessness
- ILLUSTRATE how the JLL and its projects and partners are working to combat some of these challenges.
- RAISE FUNDS to support the Junior League of Louisville, an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Our collective online goal is $13,000. The Junior League of Louisville works on projects and with community partners to make a difference through service, leadership, and collaboration. Our 2021-2022 Community Focus is Youth Homelessness. Our goal is to raise $13,000. Please support JLL as we tackle this important issue. You can also follow my Little Black Dress Initiative journey throughout the week on my social media platforms and visit my personal JLL story and fundraising page.
Thank you for your support!
Founded in 2014 by the Junior League of London, the Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI) is a social media-driven awareness campaign and fundraiser. This is the second year the Junior League of Louisville has participated in this initiative. Advocates wear the same black attire and an LBDI button for 5 consecutive days to:
-
RAISE AWARENESS of the challenges impacting homeless youth in Louisville.
-
ILLUSTRATE how the JLL and its projects and partners are working to combat some of these challenges.
-
RAISE FUNDS to support the Junior League of Louisville, an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Our goal is $13,000 from the Fundrazr.com campaign alone.
Thank you for your support of JLL's 2021 LBDI Week!
