Join BWA at Florida Marlins suite on May 19: One of the classic signs of spring is the annual BWA fundraising visit to the ballpark to watch a Florida Marlins baseball game. This year, thanks to the generosity of BWA member Nancy Olson of the Florida Marlins Community Foundation, we are invited to the 7:10 p.m. game on Tuesday, May 19, when the Marlins play the Arizona Diamondbacks. We’ll watch the game from the comfort of a suite, with hot dogs, popcorn and other goodies provided courtesy of Nancy. The cost is $50 per ticket, all of which goes into the BWA Scholarship Fund. In addition, the Florida Marlins Community Foundation also provides a $1,000 grant to the BWA Scholarship Fund. So please put this date on your calendar, and we’ll provide more details at our next meeting.
BWA Scholarship: BWA is publishing its Scholarship Application through the Broward Community Foundation. With your continuing generosity, we hope to again provide five $1,000 awards to women, 18 and above, who are enrolled in a degree or certificate program at an accredited educational institution in Broward County. Gloria Kline is the BWA scholarship chairman.
