The Washington Apple Education Foundation recently observed its 30th anniversary, having provided educational opportunities to thousands of students since it was established in 1994, according to a news release.
WAEF plans to mark its anniversary by recognizing the people who help and those whom the organization has helped.
“We will highlight a donor, a current student, an alumnus or a volunteer every Monday, sharing their inspiring stories through 60-second interviews on our social media platforms,” Faviola Barbosa, WAEF executive director, said in the release. “These stories will also be available on our YouTube channel.”
WAEF said it aims to reconnect with the 3,000 students the organization has served over the past three decades. As part of the celebration, WAEF plans to recognize past scholarship recipients at the annual scholarship luncheons in Wenatchee, Wash., and Yakima, Wash., in late July and early August, bringing together students, alumni and supporters, the release said.
“We’re trying to reach out to all those students, feature them in our stories, and invite them to our luncheons,” Faviola said. “We believe their success stories will be incredibly inspirational for our current students and future potential scholars.”
