Scholarship Fund
Our major fundraiser event is coming up in late summer and we're so excited to bring you some details as they develop. Save the date SEPTEMBER 11 for the Pearls of Wisdom Brunch and Auction. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities will be available soon. Please visit the PEARLS OF WISDOM page on the top menu for more details.
Our main goal is to raise funds to provide scholarship to three girls at each of the three Catholic high schools: St. Cecilia Academy, Father Ryan and JP II. How can you be a part of this effort?
Well, there are many ways you can help. First, you can volunteer your time and talent. We're asking for volunteers who can help in the coming weeks and on the day of the event. (Contact Patricia Vance and Nikki Moreland). Secondly, you can make a donation or solicit auction items for the Silent and Live auction. Do you know anyone with a vacation home who can donate a week of stay? Sports tickets are always a hot commodity! A dinner for 2 at a local restaurant or a gift certificate for a massage also make great auction items. Each contribution, no matter how big or small, gets us closer to our goal. And with our collective efforts, we're optimistic we'll have a great year!
Here is a sign-up form you can use. Let us know how you can help support our event this year.

LEARN MORE ABOUT NCBWL
The Nashville Catholic Business Women's League (NCBWL) is a non-profit organization open to all Catholic women in the Diocese of Nashville. In addition to supporting one another spiritually, we support our Catholic community by providing scholarships to girls attending the three Catholic high schools in Nashville. For many years, we have raised funds through our only major event Pearls of Wisdom, where women gather in September for a festive Luncheon, Fashion Show, and Auction.
Our mission is:
• To empower members and other women through the sharing of our resources;
• To stimulate interaction among Catholic women of all ages;
• To strengthen and encourage members and all women of all ages;
• To support through prayer, example and work, the improvement of life for women; and
• To promote and perpetuate Catholic education.
TO JOIN US
The Nashville Catholic Business Women’s League (NCBWL) is celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2020. It is the oldest business organization in the Diocese of Nashville. The NCBWL began with a small group of Catholic women, primarily teachers and nurses, in 1950 and today has grown to include more than 100 active members who fund scholarships to all three Catholic high schools in the city.
“As we enter our 70th year, it’s time to honor our organization’s rich heritage,” said Teri Gordon, president of the NCBWL. “We were formed by like-minded women and we continue to help Catholic businesswomen connect, network and grow both professionally and spiritually.”
