"I think it is amazing you are considering setting up a scholarship program in my parents' honor. Our family would be honored. I know my parents would love for that to be a legacy they leave behind and to continue to empower and support others' growth." -- Andrew Ward* Members Fundraising Goal: $4,500
RECAMFT is honoring Joe and Pam Ward and their three adopted children by creating a memorial scholarship and grant program. There is one scholarship honoring each child, and ten grants. The initial fundraising goal to support this memorial program is $10,500 (3 years of scholarships at $3500/year).
On Nov. 12, 2021 the RECAMFT Board of Directors voted to create a Scholarship Committee, and to provide 50% of the funds needed for the first three (3) years of this $3000/yr annual scholarship program. The Board authorized $4500 to be set aside to fund 50% of the scholarships for 3 years. The total initial funding goal is $9,000. The RECAMFT Board hopes our members will do the rest, raising the additional $4500 to complete our vision of the first three years of scholarships for our prelicensed and newly licensed members, and honoring the legacy of Joe and Pam Ward who gave so much to our chapter.
