Santa Clarita, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/05/2012 -- Power Woman Business Center (PWBC) celebrated their 501C3 acquisition by hosting two ribbon-cutting events at the PWBC headquarters on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 and Thursday, August 30, 2012. Among those in attendance were city officials, bankers, business owners, leadership advocates, business executives and esteemed friends. The attendees were able to take a tour of the facility and enjoy a ceremony where the board members were introduced to the public, followed by a formal ribbon-cutting. In what is an incredible moment for PWBC, reaching 501C3 status allows them to be recognized as a nonprofit organization and opens the door for donations to keep this amazing program running.

As a business incubator, PWBC's bottom line is to create jobs by bringing new businesses to the area with an emphasis in helping start-ups and current business owners. Patricia Gracia believes in the importance of new business start-ups to help our recovering economy and job market from the recent recession.

Power Woman Business Center would not exist without the tireless support of the entire board, particularly countless donated hours and guidance from Patricia Gracia, founder and president, along with Tony Gracia, co-founder and Bruce Majeski, CFO.
