Easton Non-Profit Will Ring NASDAQ Closing Bell

Heidi Markow, a Williams Township resident and anti-domestic violence advocate, will ring the closing bell on the NASDAQ stock exchange Friday afternoon.

Markow is the founder of the the Beginning Over Foundation, which works to help the survivors of domestic violence rebuild their lives.

She began the organization after her sister Robin Shaffer was murdered by Shaffer's ex-husband in 2005.

Earlier this year, Markow's work was honored by the Godiva chocolate company, which awarded Beginning Over a $10,000 grant.

She'll be joined at the closing bell ceremony by Godiva CEO Jim Goldman, who will announce a new partnership between the company and Beginning Over.

The closing bell ceremony airs Friday at 3:45 p.m. on CNBC, Bloomberg News, FOX Business News and other networks.
