ReferToHer™ Partners with Women’s Legal Education & Action Fund (LEAF)

Given our mutual mission to advance gender equity, Lenczner Slaght is proud to announce that ReferToHer™ will be the exclusive matching donor for LEAF’s annual Giving Tuesday fundraiser for the next three years.

On November 30, 2021, we will be matching up to $10,000 of all donations made to LEAF in order to help advance the substantive equality of women and girls across Canada, and all those who experience gender discrimination.

Pam Hrick, Executive Director & General Counsel at LEAF, had this to say about the partnership: “We’re delighted to begin a three-year partnership with Lenczner Slaght, through their ReferToHer™ initiative, in support of Giving Tuesday. We’re grateful for this contribution, which will continue to grow over the coming years.”

Sana Halwani and Shara Roy, Partners and Co-founders of ReferToHer™, add: “We hope that this partnership between ReferToHer™ and LEAF will help advance the cause of gender equity. We encourage all ReferToHer™ listees and supporters to donate.”
