Take the Jenn Heil Challenge

You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.

On February 25th, 2010 Jenn Heil announced that she would be donating $25,000 of her own personal funds to the Because I am a Girl Initiative and started her fundraising challenge to raise $1,000,000 for the initiative.

Jenn has been one of the most passionate and vocal supporters of Plan's Because I am a Girl initiative, an initiative to claim a brighter, safer future for girls by raising awareness, inspiration and funds for millions of girls around the world.

"While I was in Burkina Faso in 2007, I saw first-hand how difficult life is for girls there. But, I was inspired by their hope, pride and dignity, and by their determination to build a better future for themselves."

"I'm trying to raise a million dollars over the next five years for the initiative, and already have some of my sponsors on-board who are matching my donation from the Olympics."

"As an ambassador of the Because I am a Girl initiative, I have made a commitment to help Plan support the rights and development of millions of girls around the world. I hope you'll join me."
