Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Run/Walk
Members of the PWA participated in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Awareness Run/Walk, with all proceeds going to benefit the American Cancer Society. Despite the rainy, chilly weather the participants encountered that day, the event raised in excess of $76,000 overall. Since Making Strides began 20 years ago, breast cancer death rates have declined 32 percent.
Blankets for Little Patients
Members of the PWA committed time and resources to a new project, aspiring to send comfort to the babies who are admitted to the St. Vincent Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Green Bay. Following the unit’s specifications, the ladies created several dozen blankets to be given to the hospital’s youngest patients battling various illnesses.

PWA Care for Kids Project
The PWA continued its work on a program started in 2009, the PWA Care for Kids project, created to support pediatric patients at local hospitals. Over 1,000 arts and crafts projects, games and movies were donated to the hospitals for distribution to young patients during their extended and often overwhelming stays in the hospital.
New Community Shelter Dinner Service
In 2012, the PWA undertook a new project by offering their services to the New Community Shelter in Green Bay.

The shelter works in cooperation with others in the community to address homelessness and hopelessness through education, counseling, resources and in-house services.
