We adore the gracious members of Northwood Woman's Club who annually host room makeovers at Beazley House. 

We truly appreciate their ongoing support to spruce up bedrooms and bathrooms with new accessories, bed covers, and other goodies.  Refreshing and brightening the rooms has such a positive impact on the clients living at Beazley.  They are all smiles when they see their rooms and the joy is truly heartfelt! 

Northwood Woman's Club, thank you for your time every year making a difference in the lives of these young ladies.

Northwood Woman's Club's (NWC) mission is to foster interest and participation in helping to meet the philanthropic needs of women and children and to stimulate the intellectual, cultural and social development of its members. 

 

From its inception in 1968, NWC has raised close to $5 million dollars that was donated to meet grant requests from various area service/non-profit organizations.  Additionally, they have a permanent endowment fund for the University of Texas at Dallas that supports two high achieving female students who demonstrate a financial need and a strong desire to continue their education.
