PITTSBURGH--Jennifer Bassett was one of 29 area volunteers recognized by the Greater Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners during the Tenth Annual Make the Connection Awards Gala on April 21. "Often, it is the hard-working person in the background who never gets (his or her) name in lights or even in a program, who keeps the wheels of a volunteer machine moving," said Jill Kummer, Chapter President. "Strong communities exist because of the thousands of dedicated volunteers and service organizations that support us in so may ways."
Awards were presented by Randy Grossman, former Pittsburgh Steeler. "There is something about Pittsburgh--there is no place nicer. It is a vibrant community, made more special by its tremendous sense of service and volunteerism."
Ms. Bassett has served as Outreach Coordinator for the Sudden Cardiac
Arrest Foundation since its inception in 2006. She is co-captain of the SCA Foundation Pittsburgh Marathon Affiliate Charity Team, and co-chairperson of the SCA Foundation's annual awards event to be held this year on October 7th in Pittsburgh. Ms. Bassett earned her bachelors
degree in Rhetoric and Communications from the University of Pittsburgh
and completed the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business MBA
Essentials Program.
"Jen's selfless dedication and service has been central to the success of the SCA Foundation," said Mary Newman, President. "We are proud and grateful to have her on our team."
