SCHOLARSHIP & CHARITABLE ENDEAVORS
In an effort to give back to the community, the AWSCPA Tucson affiliate has started a tradition of collecting donations for select charities and other charitable endeavors each year. We have our own scholarship fund through which we have given scholarships to deserving college students – we awarded two $500 scholarships in each of the last three years. We have also collected clothing for the YWCA Your Sister’s Closet. This year we have plans to help the community as follows:
YWCA YOUR SISTER'S CLOSET This worthy organization provides unemployed women with clothing that is appropriate for job interviews and to begin employment. They need professional clothing that is stylish, clean and preferably ON HANGERS. Clean out a closet and bring your gently used items to our next luncheon. You’ll receive a receipt for your contribution, and we’ll take care of delivering them to the YWCA. Find out more about this organization by visiting their website at http://www.ywcatucson.org/.
SCHOLARSHIPS The Tucson AWSCPA has a scholarship program for female accounting students who have taken a non-traditional path to their education. Our 07/08 scholarships will be awarded at our December luncheon. A 2007 AWSCPA Tucson Scholarship Application can be downloaded by clicking here. There are several ways you can help fund these scholarships:
$$$ Give and receive… participate in the 50/50 raffle at each meeting – one ticket for $1 or six tickets for $5. The proceeds are split – half to the winner and half to benefit the scholarship fund. OR you can purchase tickets for the next raffle by sending your check (made out to AWSCPA) to: Lynnae Fritz, AWSCPA Treasurer (fbo scholarship), c/o Beach Fleischman & Co., P.C., P.O. Box 64130, Tucson, Arizona 85728- 4130. Please indicate “Raffle tickets” and the number of tickets on the memo line.
In addition, you can help this cause through a tax-deductible contribution to our scholarship fund at the UA Foundation. Simply complete the contribution this form and mail it along with your contribution to the UA Foundation or give it to a Board member at the next luncheon.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
