CEO Kristin Van Busum and Ninja Warrior Allyssa Beird Team Up to Donate their Birthdays

Welcome to Kristin & Allyssa’s Birthday Fundraiser!

Is there a better way than celebrating your birthday than together, and with an added bonus of supporting incredible women? This year for their birthdays, Kristin Van Busum (our fierce leader and founder) and Allyssa Beird (our amazing Alianza Ambassador and American Ninja Warrior) have teamed up to celebrate their birthdays by honoring the women who are transforming communities though Project Alianza. These women are our Community Educators. Women who have been born and raised in rural Latin America and understand first-hand the gender and educational barriers that exist in their communities. But that never stopped them from achieving a better future. Now, THEY are the leaders in their community. These rock-star women are the pillars of hope and change for their students, and we're cheering them on every step of the way.

Let us give you a gift!
