Breast Cancer Awareness

The NWN is fundraising to support the local charity, Nanci’s Gift, serving families impacted by breast cancer across the DMV area. Our focus is to promote women’s health and empowerment across the College while supporting families in our area! Please join our call to action! Our goal is to raise $1,000.00 which will provide 1 scholarship for 1 student for 1 year. We have already completed 52% of that goal! We can do this NOVA!

Walk 30 miles in October: The NWN Advisory Board will be hosting group walking opportunities by campus (1 mile per walk).

Join your campus’ NWN board advisor for walking parties around your campus. Don’t forget to wear/bring footwear and clothing that you will be comfortable moving in, outside for a mile. Loose clothing and sneakers work best. Expect to be walking for 20-25 minutes. Consider a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Enjoy!
