Twenty-eight-year-old Katie DePaola was undergoing treatment for a mystery illness, mourning the loss of her youngest brother to bi-polar disorder, and attempting to cut ties with her business partner and then-fiancé.
To overcome this trifecta of trauma, she knew she needed to become her own advocate and find the unexpected gifts. She never imagined she would be starting a million-dollar business in the midst of so much chaos.
In At Least You Look Good, Katie shares her most vulnerable and amusing reflections on dealing with the hardest parts of life.
At Least You Look Good tells the story of Katie's inspiring comeback, demonstrating that loss always leads back to love.
Scholarships for Scholars is a non-profit corporation established to reward scholastic excellence in Anne Arundel County granting scholarships to qualified graduating high school students. Scholarships for Scholars is unique as the organization receives its operating funds from escheat funds- monies left in an estate in Anne Arundel County without any heirs - along with individual, family, organization and corporate donations. In 1984, Scholarships for Scholars was formed, managed by a Board of Trustees who are leading members of the local community.
Through Scholarships for Scholars, Bo’s Effort awards scholarships to deserving high school seniors who have personal experience with mental illness or have chosen to go into the mental health field in some capacity upon graduation. The Bo’s Effort Scholarship Committee has the daunting task of reviewing several heart-felt essays from well-deserving, college-bound students and from those, selecting 5 to receive scholarships from Bo’s Effort. Scholarship recipients may use proceeds to help pay tuition, fees, books, technical equipment and room/board at the high education institution of their choice.
