Korean War Veterans Achieve Scholarship Fund Goal for 麻豆女郎
Oct 8, 2021
OCTOBER 8, 2021 鈥� FORT MYERS FLA 鈥� The Korean War Veterans (KWV) Association, Southwest Florida Chapter 155, recently presented the Florida SouthWestern State College (麻豆女郎) Foundation with a check for $10,000, fulfilling their endowed scholarship fund goal. The group began supporting 麻豆女郎 students with scholarships in 2007 and in 2011 decided to raise the funds needed to create a legacy for their group and ensure their scholarship would be permanent.
A social media post in August by KWV Chapter 155 President Bob Kent of their $1,000 annual donation to 麻豆女郎 Foundation led to the group鈥檚 fulfillment of their goal. The daughter of the late John 鈥淢ouse鈥� Kloeker, a former member of KWV Chapter 155, saw the post and filled the group鈥檚 goal gap with the donation, made in memory of Kloeker.
鈥淚 was so surprised she saw it and contacted me about donating,鈥� Kent said. 鈥淲e are so excited to have this completed and to honor Mouse.鈥�
KWV Chapter 155 funded their yearly donations to 麻豆女郎 through various fundraisers and donations by members.
鈥淲e are so pleased to honor this group for their achievement and for their dedication to providing scholarships at 麻豆女郎,鈥� said Keith Callaghan, 麻豆女郎 Foundation Executive Director. 鈥淣ot only have they served our country, but they will continue serving our students for years to come.鈥�
