Women in AV (WAVE) Support Las Vegas Charity

On behalf of the dynamic AV industry, the Women in AV (WAVE) are striving to leave something charitable at the conclusion of InfoComm 2012, running June 13-15, in Las Vegas, Nevada. "We work in a fast-paced technology industry. We spend a great deal of time and energy at the InfoComm Show in Las Vegas doing business, but we would also like to be good corporate citizens. With all our thanks to FSR president, Jan Sandri, for launching this initiative, WAVE and our industry have the chance to give back in support of a non-profit organization that addresses the challenges women face in balancing work and family responsibilities." stated Jennifer Willard, founder of WAVE.

The charity selected is Southern Nevada Children First. This non-profit organization provides safe environments in which youth are supported through mentoring, advocacy, education, counseling, and intensive case management. They take in homeless mothers and children, pregnant and parenting youth, and provide housing, education, employment training, parenting skills, social skills, etc.

WAVE is asking for donations equal to what you would pay for a cab ride or the price of a drink. Cash or checks will be accepted (checks made payable to Southern Nevada Children First). Donations will be accepted at the NSCA Women in AV Reception, Wednesday June 13, 3-4pm, in the NSCA booth C11536, and also at the InfoComm WAVE Luncheon, Thursday, June 14.
