16th Annual Virtual Scholarship Luncheon

words from past sponsors “The Scholarship Luncheon is my small way of paying it forward. Being an immigrant, I’ve been given a tremendous opportunity in America and I’d like to give back as best as I’m able. It was very rewarding to see my former mentee from Orangewood benefitted from the scholarship program and graduated from Cal State Fullerton. Since then, she has secured a career in human resources and has been able to support herself and her kids.” - Denise Winn

“I love attending the 44 Women Scholarship Luncheon every year - the perspectives on life and the great takeaway morsels from Maria Shriver to Fantasia to Elizabeth Smart and so many greats in between. This luncheon always seems to fill the room with compassion for our guest and youth speakers, and the connection of talking with old friends and meeting new ones. It’s always an amazing day!” - Kelly Bozza

“Every foster youth deserves the chance to follow their dreams. The Scholarship Luncheon shows that providing support to foster youth allows them to achieve their goals of going to college and having successful careers.“ - Michelle Koontz
