THE ATHENA SOCIETY OF BURLESON is composed of 16 women who have received the prestigious Athena International Foundation Award for professional excellence and community service.  The mission of the Athena's is to assist women in realizing their full potential, participating in the community by contributing time and energy to improve the quality of life for others, serving ethically, with dignity, grace and sensitivity.

In October 2003, these National award winners formed the Athena Society of Burleson with the primary goal of reaching further into the community to help Johnson County residents, cancer patients, their families and their caregivers.  After five fundraising events, the ATHENA Society has presented over $135,000.00 to organizations that provide support for Johnson County residents battling cancer.

The ATHENA SOCIETY OF BURLESON is a non-profit 501(c)3.
