Kent Rose Foundation Scholarship Project and Outreach Program

The Kent Rose Foundation is gearing up for 2022 and making plans for continuing to grow our current projects and programs. We hope you will consider supporting our cause as we continue our mission of inspiring and empowering KIDZ.

In a very short time we have made great strides toward our goals. In August of 2017 we launched our auto tech scholarship project and have since provided 5 various scholarships. We also coordinated and hosted a successful benefit dinner and art exhibit and as an extension of this event have taken art to the local housing projects. This outreach we are expanding to include music, gardening and more. Anything to inspire kids where they live. We have continued to support local charities that focus on the needs of local children all year and for Christmas. In 2022 we will be expanding all of these efforts to continue to inspire and empower the Kidz of Appalachia.

We cannot do this without your support. Please consider making a tax deductible contribution at the link below.

It’s all about the KIDZ..!
