Jose Solarez Scholarship
Exciting Opportunity to Donate to the ABC Jose Solarez Scholarship!
********************* YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! *********************
ABC is creating an exciting Scholarship opportunity to help youth in Guadalupe, Arizona stay in school.
YOU CAN CHANGE A LIFE!
This scholarship is named after a founding and long time ABC Board member, Jose Solarez, who passed away in 2012, to honor Jose’s concern for the young people in his home town community of Guadalupe.
Our current goal is to raise $5,000 for scholarships to help these young people.
An Anonymous Donor is making a $2,500 MATCHING CHALLENGE to encourage others to donate. 100% of your donations up to $2,500 will be matched dollar-for-dollar. So, you can double the impact of your gift!
ABC Corporation (dba ABC Housing) is a 501(c)(3) organization recognized by the IRS. Your donations are tax deductible. You can check with your tax preparer for more information on this aspect.
Your generous gift donation can have a real impact!
These scholarship funds will be used by the Flight 33 organization to help these young people stay in school. Each year Flight 33 helps 250-to-300 students, pre-school through 12th grade, with guidance, tutoring, after school enrichment (including help with homework) and basic needs assistance, including shoes, clothes, hygiene items, and school supplies.
Please honor Jose Solarez’s memory with your donation.
