Non-Profits Receive Grants During Central California Women's Conference Celebration

Today, the Board of Directors of the Central California Women’s Conference (CCWC) honored 65 non-profits serving women and children with grants totaling $100,000. The recipients were recognized at CCWC’s Community Celebration Reception.

To date, CCWC has donated more than $900,000 to Valley non-profits serving women and children. Funding has benefited recipients by providing an array of services ranging from mammograms to food, shelter, clothing, education, and more.

Today’s celebration falls during National Women’s Health Week, which seeks to bring attention to women’s health issues.

Now in its 30th year, more than 86,950 women have attended the Central California Women’s Conference since its inception. This year’s event will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 19. Tickets go on sale in early June at ccwc-fresno.org.

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Fresno? I say FresYES
