Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Please go here for a short video on “How to Donate.”
A great thing about our Scholarship is its true grassroots nature. We’ve got so many stakeholders working to support these young people. In 2020, we received 122 donations to reach our $10,000 total. We had parents and teachers and administrators give. Community members stepped up. 34 students who have won this scholarship in the past, paid it forward, and donated in 2020. And we have a nice input from small and large businesses in the Muskegon Community.
To the businesses listed below, who were donors over one or both of the past two years, Thanks so much. We understand the pressures that the pandemic has placed on your bottom line. Your generosity is appreciated.

Also, we hope that you will show your approval for the above businesses and their generosity, by spending your hard earned dollars at their premises.
And finally, if you are interested we will create a slideshow or I-Movie dedicated to your business in an effort to support you while you support us. It takes a Village guys.
