20 YEARS & COUNTING: MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
It is hard to believe this summer marks 20 years since the start of The 11-10-02 Foundation. For an entirely volunteer-run group, two decades is a long, long time. It's important to pause & appreciate the many people who helped make this possible. Thanks to everyone who took part in our mentoring program, The Brunch Bunch, or who has volunteered their time or expertise in some other way. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to our Foundation so we can fund grants & scholarships. Thanks to those who have given us constructive advice or words of encouragement. In short, thanks to everyone who was there in the beginning & everyone who has joined us along the way.” - greg |

COMBINING PASSIONS
This semester, we funded a scholarship for a student (Sharon) who has volunteered for years with dogs at an animal shelter. In the past, we have funded scholarships for other students who volunteer or work at animal shelters &/or study to be veterinarians. Through this process, we are able to express our love for dogs while staying true to our mission: funding college scholarships.

REPEAT SCHOLARS
On rare occasions, we have given second scholarships to one of our Scholars. This semester, we gave out two 'repeat' scholarships. One for Anjelica, who attends college on the East Coast. One for Nim Yan, who studies at a university in the Midwest. Congrats to both! |
CONNECTING DOTS & OPENING DOORS FOR OUR SCHOLARS
Beyond scholarships, we have tried to help our Scholars in other ways. In some cases, we have introduced them to people who can give them advice for their future careers. For example, we recently introduced one of our Scholars to CDW's Cara Dean (Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition). She put him through a mock interview & then gave him valuable feedback on it so he could get an understanding of what the interview process will be like after he graduates college. Thanks to Cara & others who help our Scholars!
