This year we are recognizing more than 2,100 kids with more than $415,000 in scholarships and prizes. Regional Winners will each be awarded a $1,000 scholarship for post-secondary education.National Winners will each be awarded a total of $10,000 in scholarships for post-secondary education and Kohl’s will donate $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on each winner’s behalf.
This is a great opportunity for our volunteers to be recognized for the amazing amount of service they provide for our program. More information can be here.
