In the past, Central Oregon Coast NOW has held Celebration of Women events to recognize women in our community who make a difference through their leadership and actions. Pre-pandemic, the event served as a fundraiser so that our NOW chapter can support scholarships and other efforts that improve the quality of life for women and girls.
