Welcome New PWC Board Chair, Crystal Houston!

8 Jul

Greetings!

Tonya-SXSW-49190.jpgThe Pinkwellchick Foundation, Inc., was created to carry on the vision of our fearless founder, Barbra Watson-Riley. I proudly served as the founding PWCF Board Chair of this amazing extension of Barbra’s tireless work in the areas of women’s health, specifically breast cancer and heart disease.

I recently accepted an appointment to serve as the first African-American women to serve as Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at the UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law. Therefore, effective July 1, 2019, inaugural board member Crystal Houston will serve as Chairperson of the Board.

crystal-houstonCrystal brings a wealth of non-profit, entrepreneurial, and managerial experience and is breathing new life into our initiatives and programs. I will continue to serve on the board as Business, Finance and Legal Lead and look forward to leading the fundraising effort for this year’s BAG IT for the CAUSE™ National Service Initiative.

    As the son of a victim of this insidious disease,
    I support your efforts wholeheartedly. Mom did not have needed resources like this in 1974. Keep up the great work in helping others to deal with this.

      Thank you so much for your support. We join you in honoring your mother and look forward to making the load a little lighter and brighter as patients navigate their breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Thank you for helping us to provide BARB’S BAG of chemo care and comfort to more women in marginalized communities this year.
      Best,
      Tonya
