The proceeds from the fees and the sponsorships will go to the YWCA Domestic Violence Center.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic Women began donating proceeds from its fundraising efforts 10 years ago, said group president Essie Wiggins.

There are about 40 members of the DWIA.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s sponsors included UAW-Region 2-B; AFSCME Council #8; Lucas County Auditor Katie Moline, Communications Workers of America District #4; Sheet metal workers Int\u2019l Assoc.
