Geneva 2010 Gala in aid of Solidarité Femmes (Women Supporting Women) September 22, 2010 at 6:30 PM Geneva
Expect some extra sparkle at 100 Women in Hedge Funds Geneva Gala. This elegant black tie dinner and fundraiser includes an auction with an extraordinary diamond necklace as a featured item, as well as a live opera performance and after-dinner dancing.
The Gala will be attended by Geraldine Sundstrom, winner of the 100 Women in Hedge Funds 2010 European Industry Leadership Award and a Partner and Portfolio Manager at Brevan Howard Asset Management.
This year's beneficiary is Solidarité Femmes Genève. Founded in 1977, this Swiss charity offers social and psychological support, shelter and mentoring to women and children affected by domestic violence (www.solidaritefemmes-ge.org).
Funds raised from the Gala will go towards an outreach project led by Solidarité Femmes, to extend its expertise into social, health and community services within Geneva. Training modules will build on its understanding of multiple issues associated with domestic violence, such as isolation, post-traumatic stress disorder and the breakdown of normal family relationships.
