Earlier this year, Julia Herz, Gray For Good founder, launched this global grassroots campaign devoted to celebrating all women-identified individuals who go gray and eradicating the gender equity gap by increasing charitable giving to women and girls focused causes. #GrayForGood encourages participation by consciously celebrating women who are gray with genuine gestures of support, and by taking the savings of not coloring gray hair, estimated at $20B+* a year, and directing it to women and girls’ causes. The campaign has a starting goal of $1M in donations from 50,000 people at $20 each. Success will be tracked by stated dollars using the hashtag #GrayForGood.

Herz is activating this fundraising goal with a Virtual Town Hall on Wednesday, July 28 when she’ll talk gray hair with Gwen Conley, Cutwater Spirits and Pink Boots Society member; Jen Jordan, Pink Boots Society President and brewer at Laughing Monk Brewing; and Jeannie Sager, Director of Women’s Philanthropy Institute. The event is free with a suggested $15 (or more) event fee with a portion of profits going back to Pink Boots Society.

*Methodology: Estimate $480 per year per woman at six times a year at $80 per coloring multiplied by 43M women (50% of 85.5M women in U.S. 35-79 years of age) = $20,640,000 per year.

GRAY FOR GOOD - FOR ALL WOMANHOOD is a global 2021 global campaign to celebrate all women-identified individuals who don't dye their gray hair and encourage the world to consciously and collectively increase giving to women and girls focused causes, bringing donations to a more equitable place.
