That translates to $43,879 raised for Planned Parenthood. Plus, because there was such a large increase in engagement the company -- which is known for being woman-friendly and has supported PP in the past -- decided to throw in some extra money necessary to make it an even $50,000 donation. That's a pretty successful girl's night out.

You might have seen people mention it on social media, but there wasn't any big self-promotional publicity push. Still, people jumped at the chance to help their fellow women -- further proof that the power of #GirlGangs is no joke.
