LAS VEGAS – This month, Lexicon Bank, Nevada’s community-focused banking partner, is proud to spotlight Project Marilyn, as their February Community Spotlight, with a cash donation to help raise awareness for the non-profit within the community.
Based in Southern Nevada, Project Marilyn is a nonprofit with a mission to ensure everyone has the supplies needed to have a healthy and dignified period. The organization was established in 2019 by Wendi Schweigart in dedication to her mother, Marilyn, who passed away in 2011.
“We’re excited to partner with an organization that has such a tremendous impact on local women,” Lexicon Bank President and CEO Stacy Watkins said. “We hope that we can help spread their message and are proud to be a part of their overall mission to our community.”
Last year Project Marilyn was awarded the bronze award by the Las Vegas Review Journal for best Non-profit in 2021. Project Marilyn was most recently selected as a charity partner for 2022 by the Mondays Dark team. Mondays dark is Las Vegas’ premiere variety show with a cause. Their mission is to raise $10k within 90 minutes to the featured local organization. Project Marilyn made the deliberate request to be spotlighted the day after Mother’s Day, May 9, 2022, on Mondays Dark “Night of Giving Back” event. Tickets are currently on sale to purchase here.
Community members looking to donate to Project Marylin can do so by heading to Project Marilyn — Lexicon Bank. Every $10 donation goes directly to a period bag for someone in desperate need.

ABOUT PROJECT MARILYN
The mission of Project Marilyn is to ensure everyone has a healthy and dignified period. PERIOD. Project Marilyn assembles period kits and distributes them to other nonprofits. Period supplies are often overlooked so Project Marilyn is working to fill that void. Project Marilyn officially became a 501(c)3 in April of 2019. The nonprofit organization is named after and dedicated to Wendi’s mom, Marilyn. The logo is her photo and her actual signature from her drivers license that Wendi kept after she passed away in 2011 from breast cancer. “We miss my mom so much each day, to do this in her memory, makes us feel like she’s still with us.” For more information, visit https://projectmarilyn.com/
