January 16: Can You Make a Buzz-Worthy Difference?

New York Women in Communications Foundation is proud to announce its annual partnership with the online auction site, www.charitybuzz.com to be launched at the 2012 Matrix Awards. This special auction is not-to-miss, offering invaluable experiences and highly coveted goods, including high-end travel, luxury merchandise, a day with a prominent industry member or celebrity, behind-the-scenes access at leading businesses, vacations, spa and hairstyling packages, shopping experiences and more!

The annual auction funds scholarships and provides educational programs for women, whether they are just beginning or are embarking on a transition in their careers. In 2011, the auction raised close to $65,000, enough to fund more than 10 scholarships for communications students —like scholarship winner, Megan Hess! Check out Megan's personal story on how NYWICI Foundation and its scholarships impacted her life career, Scholarship Spotlight.

This year's auction will launch on "Matrix Monday," April 23 at the Awards luncheon.
