SaddleBrooke Community Outreach
Scholarship Endowment Program

Each year SBCO applies a rigorous evaluation process to select students to receive scholarships of $3,000 per year for four-year degrees and $1,500 per year for two-year programs.  SBCO established a Scholarship Endowment Fund Program to increase the funding available for these scholarships. Only the interest earned on donations is used to fund local scholarships. This allows donors to provide scholarship assistance to local students for generations to come.

Donations to the Scholarship Fund can be made through estate plans or trusts, by donating a portion of an IRA retirement account, or by donating cash.  Gifts of property such as real estate or cars is another option. The minimum donation is $5,000. For more information about the Community Outreach Scholarship Endowment Program, visit community-outreach.org or contact Ron Andrea at 520-904-4831 or WhatsNewRon@gmail.com.

DIFFICULT TIMES:  Yes it is a very difficult time to continue our monthly meetings with the  care-givers, families, friends of those impaired with Dementia, Alzheimers, Parkinsons , MS, ALS,  Stroke, during this health crisis.  All facilities are closed, we cannot gather in groups larger than  10 persons.  Therefore, our board has decided to put off further meetings until October 16, 2020 .  At that  time, hopefully, we can resume guest speakers and wonderful discussions from those attending.

Please feel free to reach out to either myself, Esta Goldstein 825-1181  jsda38@icloud.com  or  Marilyn Sellers  818-0965   wwsellers@wbhsi.net  with questions or needed information .
