You are invited to a Brunch and Learn session with International Justice Mission, a global organization that advocates for the rights of the poor, including investigating and prosecuting human trafficking, fighting against police corruption, and working with local government to create and implement just legislation. Thanks to guest donations in 2016, Salon Secrets Spa helped raise $2000 in contributions to fight human trafficking through Dressember, and these funds benefited IJM in part. We are excited to welcome Alesha Guruswamy Rusk, who serves as the Senior Program Manager for IJM in South Asia. In her role, Ms. Rusk works closely with IJM's field offices in South Asia, which focus on combating sex trafficking and forced labor. She collaborates with field office staff in the design of new programs and in ensuring that IJM's work is as strategic and effective as possible, so that the justice systems will begin working on their own to protect and serve the poor. We are looking forward to the opportunity to learn more about IJM and the impact that the organization has around the world. JOIN US on Thursday, August 24, from 11am - 12pm at Salon Secrets Spa for a time of storytelling around the work of International Justice Mission. Small bites, coffee and tea will be provided.
RSVP to [email protected]
Thanks to you for your support of International Justice Mission and Dressember! We hope to see you there. |

Chadds Ford Days began as a way to commemorate the Battle of Brandywine that was fought on September 11, 1777. This important battle played a pivotal role in shaping our nation's future.

As the years went by, the Chadds Ford Days festival grew to include over 60 of the region's finest craftsmen and colonial demonstrators, Revolutionary War reenactors, an array of culinary fare from local restaurants and food trucks, brewers and vintners, antique cars, children's activities, live music, special exhibits, historic tours of the John Chads House and so much more.
