Engagement Season Is Coming

Your Giving Tuesday donation to VOW will grant you VOW Pro+ membership and unlock our 2022 VOW Pro+ badge, just in time for wedding engagement season. (Just in case you need a refresher on wedding lingo, “engagement season” is that magical time of year between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day when most couples become engaged to be married and start planning their wedding.)

Did you know 72% of couples reported they were more likely to hire a wedding vendor if a portion of profits went to support a cause they believed in?

Set yourself up for success with VOW as your business’ charity of choice.

Every dollar donated to VOW helps girls choose love on their own terms, and your VOW Pro+ badge will easily express to future clients that your business invests in the futures of girls around the world.
