About Us
The Deercreek Women’s Alliance has been an active organization in Deercreek since 1999.
The Alliance’s primary function is to promote an awareness of the needs of local charitable organizations and to raise funds for these charities through a variety of activities and social events–and to have a great time while doing it.
