The longstanding and sought after annual event and purse raffle returns virtually!
Over 24 designer purses will be raffled on Friday, November 19 at 7:00 p.m. https://givebutter.com/2021POP/the-give-back-crew/christinastoeveryoung With a shorter format and several new enhancements, rest assured that your thoughtful feedback from our first virtual event is in play.
The Need to raise these funds is stronger than ever. Last spring, over 1,000 scholarship applications were submitted to Nevada Women’s Fund with only 250 making it to the next round. After several months of reading, tears and thoughtful discussion, The Fund was able to award between $1,750 to $5,000 to 80 northern Nevada women. Now well over $8 million in scholarship funding to-date, the organization is working diligently to support even more women in 2022.
