Hats Off to Dallas Benefactors
Helen Burt, Ann McGee Cooper and Brenda Jackson (above, from left) share a laugh at the first annual High Tea and Hats event, in which Dallas women raised nearly $108,000 to support GFUSA’s efforts to expand microfinance access to more of the poorest women of Chiapas, Mexico. The event was hosted by Mrs. Trammell Crow, and chaired by Cindy Anderson. It drew some 124 women (and even a few men) who agreed that our microcredit efforts in the poorest region of Mexico are simply too important to keep under their hats.
