Fund provides scholarships for student veterans and their families pursuing life-lifting education and career training at Yavapai Community College
The Prescott Regulators & Their Shady Ladies nonprofit organization recently donated $10,000 to the Yavapai Community College Foundation in support of the Foundation’s Veterans, Military and Family Fund. This is a scholarship fund created for student veterans and their families pursuing life-lifting education and career training at Yavapai Community College. The contribution is the largest to date deposited in the Veterans, Military and Family Fund.
The Prescott Regulators & Their Shady Ladies established the scholarship for veteran students in 2016. “Several of the members of our group themselves are veterans. That’s why we chose to support veterans at Yavapai College,” said Monty Packard, the group’s sergeant of arms.
Scholarship recipient thank-you letters and success stories, which are shared at meetings and functions, are all the reward and inspiration members need, said Paige Phares, the organization’s president. “I know that helps our fundraising.”
