Purpose
Rae Harbird had a great impact on our lives and on the 26 March, Rae would be starting another year of life.
26 March serves as an opportunity to celebrate Rae's life and legacy through a series of activities aimed at promoting her core values.
Through these initiatives, Rae will live vividly as a perpetual source of inspiration in our memories and actions.
"Celebrating life and making known the legacy of women who, although no longer among us, remain vivid as inspirations in our memories and actions is a way of resisting the discouragements of these times - which we can barely describe without some disarray in our hopes." Gisele Secco
