Scholarships


  Proceeds from our fundraising efforts have also enabled RWA to award a scholarships of up to $2000 annually to local women who are beginning or continuing their education.


  We have an application process  that begins in the spring, and applicants must be local or be sponsored by an RWA participant.




The women of  RWA have multiple opportunities to give back to our local community through various service projects and charitable contributions. Some individuals in our group also often choose to volunteer directly with other local service organizations including Meals on Wheels and the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.

Those plastic bags you drop off at Giant Eagle? Will be put to good use. After we finished sorting (gotta get rid of any garbage) and bundling, the bags went to a baler. From that location the bags will go to a plant in Virginia where they’ll become park benches. The benches are in the Oakmont and Verona area. One bench is at the cemetery up the hill.
PISA graciously gives a room for storage and sorting and supplied lunch for the workers. It was actually a pleasant couple of hours.
