Regina & Rick Casaday Scholarship
Dear Friends & Family,
As you know, I have been volunteering with the Miss Texas/Miss America Scholarship Organization for many years. This is the largest scholarship organization for women, in the world. This past summer the Miss Texas Scholarship Organization gave over $100,000 worth of scholarships during our one week of competition. $60,000 of that was given on Sunday before the competition even began, through Visionary scholarships that the contestants had the opportunity to apply for. These scholarships are given for lots of different reasons – remembrance, grade related, volunteerism, specific areas of study, whatever the donor wanted them to be.
All this to say is that this summer I would love to be able to offer a $1000 scholarship called the Regina & Rick Casaday Family and Friends Scholarship celebrating my 44th year of volunteering, and Rick having contributed 23 years. The scholarship will be based on an essay those interested can write that will tell why receiving the scholarship will be so important and helpful in completing their educational goals. My goal is that it will go to a young lady who needs the scholarship help.
I am reaching out to family and friends and asking, if they feel led, to donate $44 to represent my 44th year. Any amount, greater or smaller, will be greatly appreciated. 100% of the donation you make goes straight to the scholarship foundation, which is a 501 (c) (3) organization and is totally tax deductible. The link is attached to this letter, and it will send you the proper documentation for your tax report. All donations should be made by May 25.
Thank you for your consideration of this.
Regina Casaday
