The Moms Project- fund code 530028
The project was initiated in 2010 by Drs. Catherine Batsche, Roger Boothroyd, and Mary Armstrong to honor their mothers who shared a common history: none had been able to pursue a college education because of the Great Depression, World War II, and family responsibilities. A contribution to the Moms Project not only provides a way to help our students but also helps you to honor your own mother. By contributing to the Moms Project, your mother can be added to the Moms Honor roll.
Please consider contributing to these scholarship opportunities to help make a difference, one person, and one family at a time.To donate online visit: http://bit.ly/FacStaffCBCS and click on Add Funds.
