Online, April 10, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Professional Saleswomen of Nevada (PSN) will hold their 25th Annual "Saleswoman of the Year" Dinner/Dance and Fundraiser on Friday, May 25th, 2012 at the Peppermill Hotel and Casino. There will be over $10,000 of donations offered at the live and silent auctions - which will benefit The Women and Children of the Sierras. The Women and Children's Center of the Sierra (WACCS) provides education, job training, resources and support to help women escape or avoid poverty and provide a better life for their families. Their goal is to empower women affected by poverty to become contributing members of the community by offering a transition from public assistance to paid employment.

They also provide the following:

-Their Diaper Bank provides diapers for babies living in poverty-affected households for a nominal fee. This program is available to women needing emergency diaper assistance and requires enrollment in our program in order to receive longer-term diaper assistance.

-Women who need help becoming gainfully employed and self-sufficient can enroll in our Client Success Program. This program involves personalized case management, including coordination of services and referrals. Our Life & Employability Skills training is also an essential part of what we do.

Every year, PSN honors five women from Northern Nevada and one will be named "Saleswoman of the Year" at this event.
