Thanks to the generosity of members and friends, we were able to raise $5,000 for the Vail Valley Business Women Scholarship. The VVBW Scholarship is given to young women graduating from Eagle County High Schools who intend to study business at a two or four year college. These young women have displayed leadership and achievement in their high school years, are deserving because of a financial need, or overcame challenging life obstacles.

Five individual $1,000 scholarships were awarded by VVBW Member-at-Large Karen Perez on May 4 at the YouthPower365’s Dollar for Scholars Program ceremony. The students attended Battle Mountain High School and Eagle Valley High School. Congratulations to the recipients!
