Annual Scholarship Drive | Pacific Palisades
The Palisades Optimist Foundation has started its annual scholarship drive, which provides funds to college-bound students who are selected by the board based on their scholastic achievement, ability to overcome obstacles and financial need every year since 1989.
The board shared that it works closely with the school’s College Center to select students who have the potential to become productive citizens, many of which travel great distances to reach the campus.
“The COVID virus has caused a huge disruption to every aspect of our lives,” members shared in a statement. “Schools are closed and students are learning from home as best as they can.”
Those interested in donating are encouraged to visit palisadesoptimistfoundation.org or mail to PO Box 242 in Pacific Palisades.
