1,500 people gathered in Baltimore for a 5K to raise awareness and funds for mental health issues and help to erase the stigma surrounding mental illness. Proceeds from the event support NAMI's mission "to improve the quality of life for individuals and their families coping with mental illness."
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.
Bo's Effort was proud to award scholarships to Brianan Teal, Raeha Richman, and Rebecca Fick.
Bo's Effort was proud to award scholarships to Jayden Shiflett, Laci Petruccy, and Aileena Reed.
