Rotary Club of Ballard fundraiser for student scholarships
August 12, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
The Rotary Club of Ballard held its first virtual auction and fundraiser on August 12th to support community programs in Ballard, from the Ballard Food Bank, Edible Hope Kitchen, Ballard Senior Center and our Fund-in-Need, vocational scholarships for graduating seniors at Ballard High School and Ingraham High School. Hosted at Picolino’s restaurant by Stephen Kilbreath of Kilbreath Auctions with livestreaming provided by Adavanza, the event raised nearly $30,000. Donations are still being accepted to support as many students as possible with costs, from housing to textbooks to course fees.

It is wonderful when various organizations and entrepreneurs join in supporting students. Students are a rather vulnerable category of people who are no longer children but not yet adults. Therefore, any support is important. At one time, I really needed help with my studies, and I came across this resource https://edubirdie.com/top-writers, which provided me with all the necessary support to cope with all the tasks. I use it occasionally, especially when I have a lot to do. I can surely say that such support empowers the next generation is making a positive impact on their lives. Kudos to everyone involved in making this event a resounding success, and here’s hoping that the donations keep pouring in to support even more students in need.
