PWB Raises More than $110,000 in Scholarship Funds During Professional Women in Building Week

Recently, during Professional Women in Building Week, the local PWB council participated in various networking and volunteering events.

PWB also hosted its annual Wine Pull event, raising funds toward the 2024-25 Building Hope Scholarship fund.

This year’s successful event garnered a total of more than $110,000 in funds, making it the largest amount raised in PWB Wine Pull history!

The money from the scholarships goes toward education and training for other young women interested in pursuing a career in the field of construction and women in the field looking to advance their career.

Locally, the Professional Women in Building (PWB) Council, part of the Southern Nevada Home Builders Association, is the voice of women in the building industry, dedicated to promoting industry professionalism and supporting our members at the local, state and national levels by offering scholarships, networking and philanthropic community involvement and professional and personal development.
