2010 Was
SupportAbility's Best Year Yet!!!
69 Awards were given to deserving
students at nineteen high schools
throughout Orange/Los Angeles
counties. Over $210,000.00 awarded
after eight full years.
SupportAbility
awards the
Julie Inman
Courage Award
to a student who overcomes a
life-changing obstacle, i.e. disability, loss,
financial hardships, learning disabilities, etc.,
to graduate from high school and plan
to continue their educational/vocational
goals. Many students keep in contact with
Julie as she continues to reward them with
book money, as long as they provide proof of
enrollment in a vocational/educational
program.
"Courage is the most important virtue of the seven virtues..."
Recipients are always invited to
fundraising events and their presence is
valued by contributers. One parent of a
recipient remarked that receiving The Julie
Inman Courage Award was so important at
that time in her daughter's life. Others have
thanked her with tears in their eyes
saying,"We're so thankful this award is
available..." At our annual Golf Tournament a recipient
told many guests that her degree could not have been
accomplished without SupportAbility and its help and aid.
She and many other recipients have received monetary
assistance each year they have stayed in school and on their
educational path.
At this year's tournament SA raised over $7,100.00.
Guests heard recipients and other inspirational
success stories at our post-tournament reception.
One of SupportAbility's faithful recipients said,"I never knew I was
courageous. I was just trying to get
well..." A feeling often felt by Julie and, no
doubt, other recipients who were just getting
through life. This noted recipient has stayed in contact and attended our fundraisers since 2004 when she received the Courage Award.
In May of 2010 over 41
deserving students were awarded over
$42,000.00!
