Medical Teams International

THANK YOU ?? At this year's Healthy Women, Healthy World luncheon, we witnessed an incredible outpouring of generosity. This incredible community reached out a hand to care for women and children around the world. We gathered together at The Golf Club at Newcastle in Seattle and Amaterra Wines in Portland with over 250 generous and compassionate guests. At both events this week we heard from our keynote speaker Helen Manson about her work, where she powerfully demonstrated the connections between us. Our afternoons were joyfully led by emcees Monique Ming Laven and Katherine Cook. Together, we raised over $244,000 to bring life-saving medical care to women and children around the world!
