HAMPTON ROADS, Va. – (April 4, 2005) – Recognizing the value of providing crucial services to women, the local chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) has given $6,000 to Tidewater Community College's Women's Center. The funds, raised at the organization's winter social event and silent auction, will support student emergency assistance at the center.

  

“We're pleased to accept this generous donation from NAWBO,” says Mary Pat Liggio, college-wide coordinator for the Women's Center. “It will be used to assist women in crises and will provide financial support for school-related needs such as tuition, books, transportation and child care.”

Each year, NAWBO selects a beneficiary for the proceeds from their annual silent auction.

NAWBO, headquartered in Mclean , Va. , is known as the only dues-based national organization representing the interests of all women entrepreneurs in all industries. The association has more than 8,000 members in nearly 80 chapters nationwide, and is affiliated with Les Femmes Chefs d'Entreprises Mondiales (World Association of Women Entrepreneurs) in 35 countries.
