What a success! It was better then I could have imagined! Bridgetown is amazing. We raised $2300!!! Praise the Lord!
Kerri Foland was a wonderful student, wife, mother, friend, and daughter. Kerri lost her life to cancer at the age of 40. This scholarship was created in her name to keep her caring legacy alive by helping physical therapist assistant students with college expenses. Lets reach for the stars and raise $25,000 to create an endowed scholarship so it can help students in-definately!

Craft Bazaar was a success!
I raised $195.50 for the scholarship at the craft fair. It was fun and the cards were a hit. I might try to find a shop to sell them at. Several people told me I should. Thanks to all who donated items to sell and thanks to all who bought items and donated to the scholarship!

This years scholarship recipient letter:
"I am writing this letter to give the most sincere appreciation for being chosen to receive the Kerri Foland Scholarship. I am both honored and grateful to receive the financial for fall and winter terms.
My decision to return to the school at 40 years old while raising my children has been difficult for my entire family. The financial stressors alone have been overwhelming at times. Completion of the PTA program is vital to our financial future. In addition, I feel that after 20 years of working to pay bills, I will be able to have a career in a field that I have grown to love. This scholarship is making things a little easier for me to reach my goals and continue to care for my family.
Thank you so much for choosing me! I will forever be grateful.
Sincerely,
Michelle Grant"
