One part of our organization is the Foundation, a public charity under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations made to this local Foundation support our charitable endeavors. We award scholarships to women who are continuing their college education after a time away from formal education. We also present an annual career workshop called "Reach for the Stars" for 7th and 8th grade girls to encourage math and science fields of study.
