200 and counting

The Power of 10 is certainly generating a lot of buzz! We received over 200 nominations so far, and we're really excited to kick off our first group (Senior Women) next month. Stay tuned for updates on how these 10 women will use their $10,000 to help other senior women in our community.

Though the "official" application deadline has passed, we've decided to leave the nomination form on the Web site. We'd like to see more applicants for specific groups, including:

Young Women (16-18)
Young Women (18-21)
Fathers of Daughers
Law Enforcement/Health Care Providers
Women Surviving Poverty

If you know anyone who would be a good participant for these groups, please encourage them to fill out an application, or take 5 minutes to nominate them yourself!

Can we count you in?
