Southern Nevada Coalition of Concerned Women

Southern Nevada Coalition of Concerned Women, Inc. (SNCCW) was chartered October 2, 1996 and has served as a vital 501(c)3 Community Service Organization. On January 28, 2017, the members agreed to file the Certificate of Dissolution. Members contributed more than $50,000 to assist students in the Clark County Summer School Program fulfill educational requirements, $10,000 to Rainbow Dreams Academy, and awarded two $1,000 scholarships in April, 2017 to two students to travel and tour Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs). These funds were raised through fashion shows and luncheons featuring guest speakers such as Elaine Jones of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund; US Congresswoman Maxine Waters; Tony Brown, journalist and commentator of PBS's Tony Brown's Journal; and attorney Barbara H. Yonemura.
