JAWS 25th Anniversary Fund!

JAWS president Dawn Garcia is making a big announcement.

Journalism & Women Symposium has received another $50,000 grant from the Challenge Fund for Journalism
! (We actually asked for $40,000...)That means we need to match this grant with private donations by Aug. 6, 2009, just in time for the 25th anniversary of our organization and the October camp in Snowbird, Utah.

The money raised will be used to keep cost of JAWS low, help pay for camp speakers and putting on more regional events.

We're asking for donations from members and we'll be looking for money from outside the organization to other women in journalism, family foundations and businesses.

If you're not here and want to donate, you may do so using Paypal through the Web site.

We'll also be posting more information about this on the Web site soon!
