2024 Celebrity CIO scholarship fundraiser thank you for incredible support

I am absolutely thrilled to share the incredible impact of your support for the ITWomen Celebrity CIO Poker Tournament & Casino Evening!  Together, we raised over $44,000 for scholarships that will empower the next generation of women in Technology and Engineering.

Thanks to your generosity, we’ll be awarding $8,000 scholarships to talented young women from South Florida in 2025, helping them pursue their dreams in STEM fields.

While we’ve come so far, we’re still reaching for our goal of $48,000. If you’d like to continue making a difference, it’s not too late! You can make a fully tax-deductible donation directly to the Scholarship Fund here:
