We have been very lucky to be able to award these deserving students some help with their fees, books, room and board, and other related college expenses. The BCCHA Scholarship Committee felt that out of the 24 applications received, 14 students deserved an award. They are pursuing careers in Nursing, Physical Therapy, Psychology, ER Doctor, Dental Hygienist, Radiologist Technician, Biotechnology Research, and Pharmacy.
Former recipients have become nurses, others are on their journey to become nurses, doctors, bioengineers, scientists, researchers, and many more medical disciplines.
We have had terrific community support from folks shopping in our stores and willing to round up their purchases at both Rainbow Treasures and Stuf n' Such stores while checking out, sending in memorial donations on loved ones’ birthdays, supporting our bake sales, raffle baskets, and the list goes on, all the way around our building to the back of Stuf N' Such where we accept generous donations from our local Fallonites. It is greatly appreciated, thank you!
Lastly, we need to give a big shout-out to Mr. Barney Haden who has sent in Memorial Donations for the last four years in honor of his cherished wife, Mae. She was a dedicated schoolteacher in Fallon for 30+ years and a beloved member of the auxiliary until her death. So, in her memory, we award scholarships to graduating high school students.
And as I told a fellow auxiliary member recently, the next time you are at the hospital by yourself or with a loved one meeting with a nurse, getting an x-ray, or having labs done, remember that the person who is helping you now was possibly helped by you first.
With Much Gratitude, The BCCHA Scholarship Committee.
