Champions of Diversity 2013
Last week, we awarded $3000 in scholarship money to two of our peers at the annual Champions of Diversity Awards Ceremony. This was the second year in a row that we were able to stand up on that stage and help our friends get to college.
As most of you know, a portion of the proceeds from DreamFields goes toward scholarships for local migrant students. Last week, Lucia and Martha, juniors at MVHS, presented a $1500 scholarship to both Mount Vernon High School student Chayan Sanchez and Burlington-Edison High School student Elizabeth Sanchez.
Last year we awarded $1500 in scholarship money. We’re very proud of the fact that we doubled that amount to $3000 this year. With your help we could add one more scholarship for next year, for a total of $4500. Will you help us? Please buy a book today, and then spread the word!
