Circles of Women South Central (CWSC) is pleased to be working in conjunction with the Empowered Girl Alliance in bringing this amazing program to Texas for the first time in 2010.

Imagine what your life would be like if, as a teenage girl, there had been a place for you... a place where you would be heard and affirmed... a place where you could learn to cope with the challenges that faced you in that turbulent time of your life...

The Empowered Girl Alliance (EGA) is making that place for girls ages 13-17, and we need YOUR help.

We are thrilled to announce that we have received a commitment from a generous donor for $5,000 in matching funds for our EGA Texas Program!!

These donations are critical so that we can serve the girls who are most in need of the weekend and mentoring program. This money will help to pay for scholarships, weekend expenses and the year-long mentoring program.

Quick facts about the EGA Program:

The cost of the weekend and the mentoring program is more than $1000 per girl per year
EGA has now held 4 weekends – 2 in Rochester, NY and 2 in Southern California. The first EGA Texas Weekend in will take place on September 10-12, 2010 in Livingston, TX
Over 60 girls have been through the program to date
We know without a doubt that we have changed the course of the lives of many girls already
We have the potential to add another 16 girls to that number WITH YOUR HELP

We ask that you give whatever you can, and that you consider giving donations to the EGA Program in honor of a special girl or woman in your life. Any amount is welcome!

Donating is easy! If you would like to honor a woman in your life or sponsor a particular girl on the weekend, please fill in that information in the “Comments” section of the donation page.

Raising $5,000 for the EGA Program is a huge challenge for our community – and we know we are up for this!

Circles of Women South Central is a Texas Non Profit 501(c)3 Corporation, and all donations are tax deductible. Donation receipts will be provided upon request.
