Today we are grateful to announce a new initiative created by an inspiring ROX advocate and donor: Jeffery Acheson, CPWA® CFP® CPFA™ AIF®, CEPA® NQPA™ CAPP™. Jeff created Amber’s ACES (Advocates & Champions for ROX Expansion) to honor, remember and celebrate the life of his late daughter, Amber, because he knows every girl deserves to have a healthy, safe, productive and empowered future. Amber’s ACEs do three things. They: 1. Commit to introducing the work and research of ROX to their personal and professional networks as well as their local school, government and business communities. 2. Advocate for ROX presence and programming and seek opportunities for ROX to provide thought leadership and expertise in local conversations, conference and events focused on girls and women. 3. Seek opportunities to support ROX programming and sponsor ROX girls through philanthropic efforts and personal and corporate investments. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Jeff and Franklin Templeton. We know Amber is honored and proud to see you and all of her ACEs making such a meaningful investment and impact in the lives of girls. Want to become one of Amber’s ACEs?
