The Leadership Committee - Hayley Jessup, Carolyn Chandler, Beth Green, Kelly Walker, Mari Mitchel, Kristin McWilliams, Carrie Randolph and Christina Stoney.
Direct Relief Women – a group that supports Direct Relief’s programs targeting maternal and child health – raised more than $100,000 at its third annual Mother’s Day event held Thursday evening at the home of Bryan and Lisa Babcock in Montecito.
The amount raised will allow the Goleta-based humanitarian aid organization to support more than 4,000 safe births for mothers and children worldwide.
Nearly 200 people attended the event that featured special guest Scott Neeson, founder of the Cambodian Children’s Fund (CCF). After introductions by Direct Relief President and CEO, Thomas Tighe, and Direct Relief Women Chair, Mari Mitchel, Neeson gave a stirring presentation on the need for holistic medical care for mothers and children suffering in the slums of Cambodia.
