ITWomen, an organisation dedicated to the advancement and development of women in technology based in South Florida, has announced its third annual scholarship drive themed CIO Celebrity Poker Tournament & Casino Night due to take place on November 16 at the Sheraton in Fort Lauderdale.
The goal of the fundraising drive is to raise more than $30,000 in scholarship money that will be awarded to seven high school graduating women pursuing careers in technology. This year's event will celebrate the success of previous years' fund-raisers which to date have raised more than $34,000 in scholarship moneys.
