WISE Conference Donates $5,000 To Local Charities

By  | 

The Woodlands, TX (October 13, 2016) — Each year, the WISE Conference planning committee chooses at least one Montgomery County charity to acknowledge at the conference and give a portion of the proceeds.

With the ongoing growth in the area, it is organizations like the WISE Conference that bring awareness and support to local nonprofits that continuously use the donation that make the difference.

“We want to bring attention to what these well-deserving charities do for children and families, and we are proud to donate to Special Needs Sibs and Focus Academy this year,” said Dawn Candy, the 2016 WISE Conference coordinator. “The WISE Conference is more than a women’s business conference – we feel that it is our obligation to give back to those who could use a helping hand, and we will continue to support the community.”

The $2,500 donation to each charity will help improve the facilities, children and families they serve as well as give educational scholarships.
