Dollars for Scholars seeks donations

The Medical Lake Dollars for Scholars is asking for donations of gift baskets, gift certificates or cash to support its upcoming bi-annual fundraising event, according to a fundraising press release.

Last year Dollars for Scholars, a 501(c)(3) non-profit scholarship foundation, raised over $13,000 by auctioning off a variety of donated merchandise. This year’s goal is to meet or exceed that amount.

The organization awarded 26 students over $26,000 in scholarships, and since its inception in 2011 has awarded more than $600,000 to local students, according to the release.

Donations can be picked up or mailed to:

Dollars for Scholars is an all-volunteer group of community members whose objective is to encourage students to seek additional vocational or college education after graduation and to raise scholarship money for the graduating students of Medical Lake High School through multiple fundraisers.
