Help The Lower Eastside Girls Club win $50,000 in the DVF Foundation’s “People’s Voice” Awards!

The DVF Awards were created in 2010 by von Furstenberg and the Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation to recognize and support women who are using their resources, commitment and visibility to transform the lives of other women. Honorees receive $50,000 in support of the nonprofit, 501c-3 organization with whom they are affiliated to further their work.

Vote for The Lower East Side Girls Club founder Lyn Pentecost here.

The last day of voting is Feb. 15.

If the girls club wins, the money will go toward construction of their new Avenue D clubhouse and for their continued employment of local teenagers.
