Greetings!
We are so excited that we have had our first recipients for the Radiant Works Scholarship. We have given support to applicant sfrom both Alachua and Marion County. The candidate from Alachua County has plans to go further and work on her AS degree in order to get into the Medical Billing workforce. She has two young children. Although priority is given to women with children, we assisted a young man in Marion County. We have received a note from the Marion County School Board that the young man passed with "flying colors" and we are awaiting confirmation from Alachua County. It was decided that if there were not enough women submitting applications we would give the opportunity to men. A total of 4 scholarships have been approved.
If you made a pledge at the last dinner to support this project and have not submitted payment, please do so at this time. Radiant Hands is confident once this process is underway we will have multiple requests. Remember we are committed to providing two scholarships each month for both Alachua and Marion County and can only do so with your support.
You are the future for these individuals who are struggling so hard to improve their situation. It is money well invested for the future.

PAYROLL DEDUCTION
Radiant Hands has once again been accepted by United Way to be involved in their Payroll Deduction Plan. If you work for UF, Shands, the city or any employer who permits payroll deduction, you can donate easily to Radiant Hands each pay period simply by writing in our name on forms supplied by the payroll department. Even if you don't see our name or number (UF employees look for # 3030 during enrollment time), you can write in Radiant Hands and initiate a deduction. For the price of a cup of coffee a week, you can make a difference in someone's life. It's easy and secure and best of all you dont have to remember to write the check.
