This year’s program will feature past scholarship recipients, highlighting their journeys and achievements as living proof of what is possible when talent meets opportunity. For more than a decade, our organization has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships, empowering deserving students across the Tallahassee Area to pursue higher education and brighter futures.
