“Today’s Woman Foundation” with Choice Medical Group on California Life! – by David Wylie
Saturday, May 21st, 2011Today’s Woman Foundation is a great non-profit organization that not only provides help for women in financial need, but with health issues as well. This group evolved out of the Choice Medical Group of Apple Valley over a decade ago, back in 2000. The 5th Annual Mother’s Day Luncheon featured the lovely Miss California – Arianna Afsar. Gayle Taylor, currently battling cancer, was given $1500 to help her during this time. This is indicative of the heart and charity that the foundation works for. Today’s Woman Foundation feels strongly about giving healthcare opportunities. Women of all shapes and sizes, of all backgrounds, and with unique issues, are all deserving of healthcare. This organization grows on the idea of providing this for these women. Diana Pasillas, President of the Today’s Woman Foundation, said, “This particular event presents a scholarship from the Anna Sugi Endowment Fund. That goes to a woman who wants to further her education, no matter what her age, someone who is seeking to better her education and her future.”
