Tuesday, January 18, 2011, By News Staff

Syracuse University’s newly formed student branch of She’s The First, an organization that promotes girls’ education worldwide, won first place and $1,000 in Vivanista’s “Parties For a Purpose” video contest.

Vivanista’s website provides support and advice to philanthropic women seeking to enrich the world through charity. The site’s video contest challenged contestants to create a video demonstrating the purpose behind their organization’s fund-raising parties.

The members of She’s The First*{Syracuse} plan to put the prize money toward sponsoring girls’ education and covering costs of on-campus fundraisers.
