Nominate an Extraordinary Nassau Woman

Nassau County is searching for some of its most extraordinary female residents.

Ahead of an annual celebration on March 18 in Old Bethpage Restoration Village, Nassau County is welcoming nominations for women who give back, inspire, or lead by example.

“Women’s History Month provides us a wonderful opportunity to honor the contributions that mothers, sisters, and daughters have made to our communities,” said County Executive Mangano. “The women of Nassau County that have been honored at our prior Women’s History Month Celebrations have been nothing short of extraordinary and I welcome all to attend this year’s event as it promises to be a great success with more outstanding honorees and magnificent signature desserts by top bakers.”

All proceeds raised at the celebration will benefit the Nassau County SPCA and The Safe Center LI.

Tickets for the Just Desserts event are $10 each and welcome guests to sample signature desserts from several nearby bakeries. Tickets will not be available at the door.

All nominations must be made by March 2. To request a nomination ballot, or donate a prize for auction, or buy tickets, contact Kim Collins at 516-571-4044 or [email protected].
