In addition to these scholarship recipients, thousands more residents from preschoolers to senior citizens – benefit from CEF grants to public schools and private institutions that enrich our entire community.
From clubs that foster leadership and mentoring in our schools, to field trips that imbue students with a sense of history and civic pride, to inter-generational programs that enrich young and old alike, these grants facilitate programs and projects that might not otherwise be possible.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, attendees, and sponsors, this all-volunteer organization’s February gala fundraiser generated over $20,000 that went directly toward this spring’s scholarship awards.
