Pillars Scholarship Program
help us build the future pillars in our communities
Pillar – A person or thing regarded as reliably providing essential support for something. C4C over the last 11 years has worked to be a pillars in our communities. We want to continue to grow and bring awareness to the needs in the community. But as Tom Peters stated “Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders!”
Therefore, C4C, is creating a Pillar Scholarship Program. C4C cares deeply that the youth of today see the importance in supporting and being involved in their communities so that in the future they will be the pillars of tomorrow.
C4C will be selecting students for the scholarship based on superior academics, the need for funding and community involvement. We are looking for 200 founding pillars to contribute a minimum of $100.00. We will be hosting a banquet for all recipients and founding pillars. More details to be posted.
We as elders in our communities have a responsibility to lead by example. Are you leaving a legacy of being a pillar? I challenge you today to donate and be a pillar and leave a legacy!
