Throughout the year,  we raise funds to support three initiatives supporting women and girls with monetary scholarships and awards.

Returning women students have multiple roles to manage such as breadwinner, mom, and caregiver.  They often have extra ordinary unexpected expenses such as child care, car repairs and tuition needs. We recognize the burden placed upon these students and with the funds raised at the Annual Used Book Sale, Crafty Creations,  and Empowering Women merchandise,  we are able help them meet those expenses and reach their educational goals.

Net Profits raised from our annual Used Book Sale are sent to the Higher Education Fund Chairpersons each spring.  The funds are split three ways between the following committees:

Educational Fund:

  ~Henry Ford College  

  ~University of Michigan-Dearborn  

Branch & Community

  ~Marge Powell Leadership Award 

  ~Branch needs

The Marge Powell Leadership Award is given to three high schools seniors each spring who exemplify principled leadership, courageous integrity andcommunity service.  The awardees are chosen by the staff at each high school.  The Marge Powell Leadership Award  is not academic based.
