Susan O'Dare of Dollars for Scholars thanked the Board for the honor and <br />emphasized that education changes lives. No student who demonstrates desire and ability <br />should be denied education due to a lack of funds. That was Dollars for Scholars' mission <br />in 1965 and is still the mission today. They have supported more than 1678 students from <br />this County due to the support and good wishes of the entire community.
