A Challenge Match: March into May
Beginning March 30, continuing through May 31, all donations made to the fund will be doubled by a small group of long-time supporters of the fund. This will give all donors the opportunity to double your impact.
We know many of you are disappointed that we are not holding an in-person fundraiser this spring. The uncertainties of the pandemic made it impossible to plan an in person gathering not knowing where the risk factors were going to be. It is our sincere hope that out of doors gatherings will continue, allowing the Jazz Series to return to Cedar Park, where we would hope to present the 2022-2023 awardees in July.
In Mid-April, expanding our virtual efforts to keep you all informed on the progress of our current group of students we will be sharing video interviews with our awardees. They’ll be sharing their thoughts on why they think it’s important for neighbors to be investing in supporting the Gary S Bronson Memorial Scholarship program along with some inspirational messages aimed at other students as well as their neighbors and friends.
Looking further ahead we would like to hold an in-person fundraiser in October 2022, conditions permitting. Look for more details in the coming months.
