Past Events

Amty's Acts Of Kindness: Scholarship Fund

October 01, 2017

Update: We were able to donate over $3500 in scholarships. Three students received scholarships for designing and college programs.  (Names and pictures not disclosed to protect confidentiality)

 

We are excited to announce the launch of our Amty's Acts of Kindness Scholarship Fund. This scholarship will benefit children and teens in our community by providing them with the opportunity to attend educational and social programs. Our hope is to influence our youth early on and spark their interest in sports and careers that they may not have been aware of or thought they could be "good at." 

Amty always loved and supported youth and believed that it was up to the adults in their lives to help channel them in the right direction. We hope to keep her loving and generous spirit alive! 

Every amount no matter how big or small will help us give the youth in our community opportunities that they otherwise would not been able to experience due to financial restraints.

We will be kick starting our wellness events for this year with a yoga class which will incorporate the uplifting and healing qualities of Young Living Therapeutic Grade oils. The goal of this class is to combine yoga and the aroma of the oils to center your mind and help you relax.
