Hi! I'm Sarah Barker and I am honored to be participating for a third time in the Junior League of Louisville's (JLL) Little Black Dress Initiative. I am currently serving on the Board of Directors as Treasurer for the JLL but have been an active member of the JLL since 2004. During my time with the JLL I have had so many amazing oppertunties to learn about the Louisville community and its many amazing organizations that provide import services to so many, grow and learn leadership skills that have not only helped me during my JLL time but have also helped me become a better leader in my professional life and of course I have had an incredible opportunity to meet some phenomenal women and develop meaningful relationships. The JLL has given so much to me as a woman that I always want to give back my time and talent and help model voluntarism, kindness, and the importance of giving for my family, especially my daughters!
Thank you!!!
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!
