Other SFM Foundation updates
Earlier this year, the SFM Foundation announced nearly $600,000 in new scholarships, a record since the organization was founded in 2008.
“We have seen a steady uptick in the number of applicants for our scholarship, so being able to award more students and provide more funding this year is amazing,” said Deb Zorn, the foundation’s Scholarship Director. “It’s so rewarding to see these young people follow their dreams with the support of the foundation community.”
This year marks the highest number of scholarships awarded in the foundation’s history – 19.
Also, the SFM Foundation’s summer golf tournaments generated $150,000.
“We are so grateful for the continued support of our agent partners, clients and others in the community,” said Linda Williams, President of the SFM Foundation. “Without their generosity, we wouldn’t be able to help as many students as we do each year.”
