Rock Bottom's Fire Chief Ale to Help Scholarship Fund
This year's event is being kicked off on March 6th (Thur.) with a keg-tapping at 6 p.m. at the Rock Bottom Brewery at Park Meadows (in the Centennial Promendade cnter).
The 2164 Foundation will use the proceeds ($.25 from every fire chief ale sold) to establish the Michelle Vanek College Fund, which will enable the Foundation to provide at least one scholarship for a deserving single mom who is enrolled or plans on attending college (see below for details).
Please come out and join us for this worthy and fun event.
Michelle Vanek College Scholarship Program
DESCRIPTION The 2164 Foundation, in its commitment "to provide benevolent service to its immediate and extended community through fundraising activities and volunteerism in a responsible manner," is establishing The Michelle Vanek College Fund. This scholarship is being established in honor of Michelle Vanek who went missing in the fall of 2005 while hiking the Mount of the Holy Cross. Before marrying her husband Ben, Michelle had been a single mom who put herself through college. In honor of Michelle, this annual scholarship of $1,000 per academic year (generally, from Fall until Spring) will go to at least one deserving single mom who is attending or will attend an accredited two or four year college for completion of an associate's or bachelor's degree.
PURPOSE The purpose of the Michelle Vanek College Fund is to provide at least one $500-$1,000 scholarship award each year to offset the cost of tuition for at least one deserving single mother who is attending or will attend an accredited two or four year college for completion of an associate's or bachelor's degree. Each recipient may re-apply for successive scholarships (a maximum of four) based on grade point average maintained throughout the academic year, availability of funds and the number of applications received each spring.
