Surfers In A Dress2013 Marketing Plan

Background: One GirlAt One Girl, we want to provide 600 education scholarships to girls in Sierra
Leone by 2014. We’re also aiming to train 55 LaunchPad Champions to sell
affordable eco-friendly sanitary pads. Educating a girl has a multiplier effect.
Invest in a girl, and she’ll do the rest.

Background: Surfers In A DressIn 2012, I decided to create a Do It In A Dress event for my fellow surfers, called Surfers In A Dress. Focusing on the same objectives of the campaign, the event managed to attract 45 people to participate on the day, and collectively as a team, we raised over $5,000! This equates to approximately 20 girls in school for a whole year!!
Needless to say, I want to make this a staple event for Bondi Beach in the years to come.
